Surviving the crisis: Five tips for advisors in a time of market turmoil
By Bruce Johnston
Advisolocity, DBJ Associates
As your clients struggle to make sense of a situation they can't control or comprehend, they will increasingly turn to you for context, calm and comfort. You need to communicate with them clearly and unequivocally. That's why I recommend that you make the following five pointers the guideposts of your crisis mode communications.
Today's news coverage says it all. Terms like "plunging stocks," "massive volatility," "lowest levels," "looming recession," "double dip," and "rout" are liberally peppered throughout much of the media.
In this environment, it doesn't take long for the pundits and talking heads to start discussing what an advisor should be saying to his or her clients. It comes with the turf, and is certainly no surprise. Because the fact is, as your clients struggle to make sense of a situation they can't control or comprehend, they will increasingly turn to you for context, calm and comfort.
You need to communicate with them clearly and unequivocally. That's why I recommend that you make the following five pointers the guideposts of your crisis mode communications. And they're good everyday pointers, too..
1. Pick up the phone.
As obvious as this one is, it's often neglected. There will be a leading research report issued within a few months that states that more than 40 percent of clients are not being contacted during the crisis that has followed the S&P credit downgrade.
We've seen this type of inattention before. It happened between 1999 and 2001, in 2008, and it's happening this time as well. And there are additional research figures, too: 40 percent of clients state they would change advisors if they received a call from a new advisor asking them to move their business.
2. Ask your clients about their concerns.
Needless to say, the purpose of this question is not to increase assets under management for your firm. Rather, it's to deepen your relationship with your client and to continue to establish yourself as their trusted advisor. You need to know what makes them tick, and there's no better time to get a read on them than at a time of crisis and volatility.
3. Reinforce your strategy.
Your clients have entrusted you to help them achieve certain short- and long-term financial goals. Let them know what form your strategy — indeed, your vision — is taking.
And by the way, if there ever was a good time to remove the ticker tapes — oops showing my age — stock quotes from your website, this is it. When clients visit your site and view all the red flashing numbers, they're not getting the impression that your firm stands for good advice and planning. 4. Put the markets into context for your clients.
Sure, it's easy for clients to panic now. That's why, as you reinforce your strategy, you'll also want to put the markets into context. While it's true that the U.S. downgrade is probably a once in a lifetime event for all of us, we have all seen extreme volatility before.
Have a discussion with your clients about how their portfolio has been constructed to achieve certain long-term goals. It's a good idea to have a similar conversation with clients with shorter time horizons, as well.
5. Warn about the too-good-to-be-true promises that proliferate during a crisis.
Here in the post-Madoff era, it's especially important to communicate with your clients. Let them know to beware of promises that "guarantee" them:
- Unusually attractive returns. This is an old but effective tactic. During a time when clients have seen their portfolios erode by 30 percent, 40 percent or 50 percent, these promised returns begin to look very attractive. Think Allen Stanford's high interest rate CDs.
- Unusually steady returns. Classic Madoff, with steady and consistent returns "assured" over a long period of time. If the current situation has taught us anything, it's that investment returns fluctuate.
Today's clients are baffled, confused and in some cases irrational as they struggle with the recent events. They need to hear from you, because one thing is for sure: If you're not talking with your clients, someone else is. In today's connected world, I can safely say that they're receiving solicitations from other advisors and/or researching the Web for answers.
To summarize: In our new, wired world — in a time of acute market uncertainty — it's your responsibility to call, ascertain concerns, reinforce strategy, put today's events into context and protect clients from false promises (and from themselves).

Court Invites Briefs On Immigration
A federal appeals court is inviting those involved in lawsuits challenging immigration laws in Georgia and Alabama to submit briefs on the effects of a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling. The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta says lawyers have until July 6 to offer their interpretation of how Monday's immigration ruling affects the Georgia and Alabama cases.

Court Immigration Ruling Impacts Georgia
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that parts of an Arizona immigration law are unconstitutional. The law is a model for a similar Georgia measure partly blocked by a federal court. The High Court ruling now means a federal court in Atlanta can rule on Georgia's immigration law.

I am using the "Painted Desert" theme, modified considerably. I tried to add a border-left effect to my alternating comments (see below). When I did, each comment was placed one step to the left so that it looked like this:
| comment 1
| omment 2
| mment 3
| ment 4
Has anyone ever seen this? As soon as I pulled out the border-left from my stylesheet, it was restored - everything lined back up - but I'm curious now if anyone knows what causes the shift to the left - and how to fix it so I can have border-left back.

Frequently Asked Questions
About the Major in English
About the Minor in English
About Advanced Placement Credit
About Creative Writing
About Study Away
About Independent Studies
About Advanced Independent Studies and Honors Projects
About the Major in English:
What do graduates do with an English major?
Bowdoin English majors learn to analyze information, research and organize ideas, develop arguments, read critically, and write well. English majors are versatile, and a wide career path is open to graduates with these skills. While some English majors continue their studies in graduate school, many enter careers in publishing, print and visual media, and education, working as editors, journalists, and teachers. And, a great number of English majors use their skills in seemingly unrelated fields like medicine, law, computer science, business, and public service, working in positions such as hospital administrator, paralegal, website editor, advertising designer, and speech-writer.
How do I choose a major advisor? Do I need to file a form?
A form is not required. The department will assign one of the English department's faculty as your advisor-of-record. However, if you know a particular professor in the department whom you wish to be your advisor, you may ask him or her to take on that role. If you make your own arrangements for an advisor, you must email the English department coordinator to ensure that the correct advisor is listed on your student record in Polaris.
May I change my advisor?
Yes, you are free to change your advisor at any time, but you must email the English department coordinator to have your new advisor listed on your record.
How many courses are required for the major?
A minimum of ten courses is required for the major in English.
Are there specific courses I must take?
You are not required to take any particular course, but all majors must:
- Take either a first-year seminar or a introductory (1100-level) course in the department. This is a pre-requisite for taking more advanced courses (2000-level and above).
- Beginning with the class of 2017, take an intermediate (2000-level) seminar. (The department strongly recommends taking an intermediate level seminar before taking an advanced 3000-level seminar).
- Take at least three courses in British and Irish Literature before 1800. These are courses in Old English and medieval literature; Renaissance literature; and the literature of the Restoration and the eighteenth century.The individual courses satisfying this requirement are identified by a note in the course description. Only one of these three courses may be a Shakespeare drama course, and only one may be a Chaucer course. Only one transfer course may count toward this requirement.
- Take at least one advanced (3000-level) seminar.
May I take more than one introductory-level course or first-year seminar?
Yes, you may count up to two of these courses toward the English major.
Do first-year seminars in other departments count as a pre-requisite for upper-level courses in the English Department?
No. Only courses within the English department fulfill the prerequisite.
Do courses in early American literature, or courses in early literatures taught in other departments (such as courses on classical authors, on Dante, or on seventeenth-century French theater, or on Don Quixote) count for the pre-1800 requirement?
No. This requirement is focused specifically on British and Irish literature.
Does a 3000-level seminar in British and Irish literature before 1800 fulfill both the pre-1800 requirement and the requirement for a 3000-level seminar?
Are there particular paths through the English major?
Each English major, in consultation with his or her advisor, develops his or her own path through the major. You must fulfill the general requirements listed above, but these requirements allow for a great deal of flexibility in choosing individual courses and using elective courses.
Some students focus on earlier literatures; some focus on more contemporary literatures; some on American literature; some on British and Irish literature. And some students simply take the greatest variety of courses they can. There is no "right" or "wrong" way to approach the major.
Should I try to get all of the requirements out of the way as soon as possible?
Again, there is no "right" or "wrong" way to approach the major. There is nothing wrong with spreading some of the requirements out over time. Be aware, however, that not all classes are offered every year. The number of pre-1800 courses, for example, might vary from year to year. Especially if you are planning to study away, think ahead about how you can be sure to meet all the requirements before graduation.
Can I count courses in other departments at Bowdoin for the major?
Yes. You may count one upper-level cinema studies course for the major. You may also count upper-level literature courses, as long as the literature is read in the original language, not in translation.
How many courses, total, may I count from outside of the department for the major?
Two. This includes courses in other departments at the College, courses from study away, and courses taken at other four-year colleges or universities (for example, courses taken while on leave from the College or summer school courses). The English department chair must approve these courses before they can be applied to your major. You must present supporting mateirals such as course syllabi, exams, papers, etc. to the chair and have him/her sign a study away approval form (found here, or can be obtained from the English department coordinator). Turn in your completed form to the English department office to be filed in your student record.
Are there any kinds of courses that the English Department automatically disqualifies from counting toward the major?
The English Department does not accept composition or journalism courses (taken here or away) for the English major.
Does the English Department grant credit for internships?
About the Minor in English:
How many courses are required for the minor?
A minimum of five.
What are the specific requirements?
After you have fulfilled the prerequisite requirement, there are no other specific requirements.
Can I count courses from study away?
No. You cannot apply any transfer credits for the minor.
About Advanced Placement Credit:
Will any of my AP courses count toward the major?
No. But a score of 4 or 5 on the AP English Literature and Composition exam (but not the AP English Language and Composition exam) can "translate" into a general credit for graduation.
How do I go about getting this credit?
You must complete an English first-year seminar or English literature course (not 1060 English Composition). If you receive a grade of B or higher, you can receive an extra general credit towards graduation.
Do I have to do this in my first semester or year at Bowdoin?
No. This credit won't expire. You can do this at any point in your Bowdoin career.
Does this apply to the AP English Language and Compostion exam as well?
No. It only applies to the English Literature and Composition exam.
Does my AP score allow me to "place out" of English pre-requisites?
No. All students must fulfill the prerequisite of a first-year seminar or intoductory level course in the English Department in order to take more advanced courses in the department.
About Creative Writing:
How many creative writing courses can I count toward the English major?
You may count two creative writing courses toward the major.
How do I get into a creative writing course?
Entrance into some of our creative writing courses is by permission of instructor. Students who wish to enroll in these courses must submit samples of their writing to the English department before pre-registration. Students are informed of acceptance into the course during pre-registration. Other creative writing courses are open enrollment.
If you are interested in a creative writing course, be sure to watch Polaris for announcements of submission deadlines, or contact the English department coordinator.
Can I transfer credit for a creative writing course that I took elsewhere?
Yes, provided the program is an established creative writing program at a four-year college or university.
About Study-Away:
Who approves my study-away plans?
The chair of the English department approves all study-away plans. All study-away questions should be directed to him or her. Prior to studying away, you must complete a registration of intent to study off-campus to be signed by the chair the English department. This form is an internal form to be returned to the off-campus study office.
How many courses from study-away can I count toward the English major?
A maximum of two.
Is this in addition to courses in other Bowdoin departments that I might want to count toward the English major?
No. You can apply only two transfer credits from another department or program to the English major.
Can I use study-away courses to fulfill the pre-1800 requirement?
Yes, you can count one such course toward the pre-1800 requirement.
Can I fulfill the 3000-level seminar requirement through study-away?
No. Only a course in the Bowdoin English department will fulfill this requirement.
Do I have to study away in an English-speaking country in order to have my literature courses count for the English major?
No. Many English majors study away in countries where English is not the first language.
As long as the course is an upper-level literature course, and you are reading the literature in the original language, (not in translation) then the English department will accept transfer credit for the major.
If I get provisional approval from the department chair for courses I plan to take during my study-away, am I guaranteed credit toward my English major for those courses when I return?
When you return from your study-away, you must meet with the English department chair to have your study-away course approved to count toward your major requirements.
Be prepared to present papers you wrote for the study-away course and a course syllabus and/or reading list. The chair will sign your study-away approval form (found here, or can be obtained from the English department coordinator). Return your completed and signed form to the English department office to be filed in your student record.
Am I locked into those courses? What happens if something changes?
That's not uncommon. You can e-mail the department chair to ask for advice regarding changes. Save syllabi and coursework for your meeting with the chair upon your return.
Do I need to have a copy of my study-away transcript sent to the English department?
No. The registrar's office will send a copy to the English department when your transcript is received at Bowdoin.
About Independent Studies:
What is an independent study?
There are two types of independent study courses: intermediate (the equivalent of a 2000-level course) and advanced (see below under "honors projects".)
An intermediate independent study is a one-semester course on a topic agreed upon between the individual student and a professor. Usually, a student studies a topic not covered in the department's curriculum, or studies a topic in greater depth than what would be covered in a regular class.
Can I take an independent study in my first year?
No. We ask that you have a bit more experience in the department before you undertake an independent study. However, a number of students do independent studies in their sophomore year.
What do I need to do to get one started?
Find a professor willing to work with you on a particular topic. Then, register for the course during the pre-registration or add/drop period. The English department coordinator will tell you what course number to put on your registration card and you must also have the professor with whom you are working sign your registration or add/drop card.
What does the independent study course itself consist of?
You and the professor with whom you are working will determine the structure of your independent study.
Is an intermediate independent study graded the same way as any other 2000-level course in the English department?
Does it count for the major?
If I do an intermediate independent study in British or Irish literature before 1800 will it count toward that requirement for the major?
Can more than one student participate in the same independent study?
Yes. The number of students in an independent study is at the discretion of the professor.
About Advanced Independent Studies and Honors Projects:
Is an advanced independent study the same thing as an honors project?
All honors projects begin as advanced independent studies, but not all advanced independent studies become honors projects. An advanced independent study is a two-semester intensive course of study that allows students to devote considerable time and energy to the in-depth exploration of a topic. An honors project involves additional specific requirements (see below.)
What should I do to start an advanced independent study?
The process is the same as described above for the intermediate independent study. The advanced independent study has a different course number, however. See the English department coordinator to be assigned a 4000-level course number.
If I am thinking of working toward an honors project, are there prerequisites or further requirements?
You must be a senior and have an A or B average in the major. In rare cases, the grade-average requirement may be waived at the discretion of the student's advisor and the department chair.
Do I receive a separate grade for each semester, and does each semester count as a full credit toward the major?
Can I stop after the first semester, if my plans change?
Yes, you are not committed to both semesters. However, if you stop after one semester your advanced independent study cannot become an honors project.
What are the additional requirements of an honors project?
The main requirement for an honors project is the honors thesis, due at the end of the spring semester. (For information on creative writing honors projects, see below). The thesis paper is thirty-five pages (or more) exploring a specific topic in detail, and involves extensive research into the body of critical work concerning your topic.
There are a number of requirements students must meet along the way:
While an advanced independent study requires only one professor directing, an honors project must have the participation of three professors: the primary advisor or director, and two other readers who provide feedback along the way. One of these professors may be from another department or program.
Students hoping to convert a two-semester advanced independent study into an honors project must submit a prospectus to the department in the fall semester. In this prospectus, the student describes the focus of his or her project (including the specific issue, question, or problem to be explored) with a preliminary bibliography listing the primary and secondary materials he or she will consult. The English department faculty and all prospective honors candidates then gather in an informal meeting where faculty advise each student.
In the spring semester, students who wish their work to be considered for honors must meet several deadlines for submitting drafts. These deadlines are announced early in the fall semester.
At a final honors meeting, each honors project candidate meets with his/her primary thesis advisor and faculty readers for a conversation about his/her project.
Can I do a creative writing honors project?
The department allows honors projects in creative writing at the discretion of our writing faculty.
How many levels of honors does the English department award?
The English Department awards one level of honors.
What happens if I don't submit my work for honors in the spring semester? Do I lose credit?
No. Your project remains an advanced independent study, and you receive a grade and credit for that.
Are there any courses I should consider taking before working towards an honors project?
The department encourages students to take English 2841 (282) -"An Introduction to Literary and Cultural Theory", before the senior year begins. This course helps students become familiar with a variety of approaches to the literature they may encounter as they conduct research in their chosen subject.

Family of emergency room patient, now paralyzed, still looking for answers
MANCHESTER— The emergency room patient whose cause of paralysis is under investigation by state and local officials has been moved to Crotched Mountain Rehabilitation Center, where he remains paralyzed and awaits an explanation of what happened to him, the New Hampshire Union Leader has learned.
Manchester resident Fern Ornelas has been at the facility for the last three weeks, according to a family member. Ornelas does not remember anything that happened after being struck by Elliot Hospital security guards at the hospital emergency room on Oct. 16, said the person, who asked not to be identified.
Manchester resident Fern Ornelas has been at the facility for the last three weeks, according to a family member. Ornelas does not remember anything that happened after being struck by Elliot Hospital security guards at the hospital emergency room on Oct. 16, said the person, who asked not to be identified.
Ornelas was charged with assault after the altercation, booked at the Manchester police station and sent to Valley Street Jail around midnight. But by the next morning, the jail medical staff had Ornelas returned to the Elliot Hospital, and he was transferred to Massachusetts General Hospital.
His family, which has been cautious in its remarks to the public, subsequently said Ornelas' neck was broken and he is paralyzed from the neck down.
Shortly after the injuries became known, local and state prosecutors opened a criminal investigation. Prosecutors in the Attorney General's Office say Hillsborough County Attorney Patricia LaFrance has the lead oversight in the investigation and referred questions to her.
Last week, LaFrance said she has not received the final investigation from State Police Sgt. Fred Lulka, the investigator in charge of the case. Efforts to reach Lulka this week were unsuccessful.
Meanwhile, Manchester residents who know Ornelas await an explanation.
"You don't have to be a genius to figure out what happened," said Phil Provencher, a friend of Ornelas. He said they both grew up in east Manchester.
"There's a lot of people (mad) about what's happened. This could have happened to anyone," he said.
The family member interviewed this week said Ornelas spoke to investigators from the Attorney General's Office on Dec. 17. Ornelas spoke about the emergency room incident. But Ornelas had nothing to say about being booked at the police department or sent to the Valley Street Jail.
Next thing Ornelas knew, he woke up at the Massachusetts General Hospital, the person said. Investigators told Ornelas they were 97 percent complete with their work, the person said.
Meanwhile, little has changed in Ornelas' condition. He cannot walk or use his hands. He has had a low-grade fever since arriving at Crotched Mountain, the person said.
Ornelas' physicians would prefer he enter the Spaulding Rehabilitation Network, which has acute-care facilities and rehabilitation hospitals in several Massachusetts locations. But because he is on Medicaid, Ornelas is at Crotched Mountain, the person said.

The powerful, super-wealthy people at the top of the economic food chain have noticed all this populist stirring. Boy, have they noticed.

Fox voiceovers loom: "Food stamp abusers, eating on taxpayers." Then another, "America's poor are actually living the good life" -- quite a despicable comment revealing the perspective of those who have never lived with, worked with, or even been around poor people in America.

Los Angeles Times Building, Gordon B. Kaufmann 1934
Gordon B. Kaufmann (1888-1949) arrived in California in 1914, and established his early reputation with the designs for Scripps College between 1927 and 1930. His early designs were almost exclusively in the Mediterranean Revival style. In 1928, he completed the Athenaeum, a private club on the campus of California Institute of Technology.
Later in his career, Kaufmann's projects were primarily in the Moderne style; the Los Angeles Times Building is a perfect example. The building won a Gold Medal for Architecture at the 1937 Paris Exposition. The Globe Lobby features murals by Hugo Balin, who also painted the murals in the rotunda of the Griffith Park Observatory. Balin's work represent the Los Angeles of the 1930s in a profound way, and are collectively some of the finest murals in the west.
The Los Angeles Times Building is located at 220 W. First Street in downtown Los Angeles.

Sanjay Dutt released to take care of ailing wife Maanyata, pictures contradicting

Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, who is serving his sentence at Yerwada Central Jail in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case, has been granted a parole for 30 days to take care of wife Maanyata, who is ill. After all the formalities being completed, the actor was released on Saturday morning.
While Sanjay Dutt has been granted the parole to take care of his wife Maanyata, pictures have a different story to tell.
Mother of two, Maanyata Dutt was spotted at the special screening organised actor Shahid Kapoor for his latest release 'R... Rajkumar' on Thursday late evening in Mumbai.
Maanyata, who is not keeping well according to husband Sanjay Dutt, looked perfectly fine at the screening and was seen partying with friends.
She was seen having a good time with film's producer Krishika Lulla. The event was also attended by Shahid's father Pankaj Kapur, director Ashutosh Gowariker, actor Ayushmann Khurrana, and Sunil Lulla, MD, Eros India.
Reports say, after the event, Maanyata, along with Shahid and Ayushmann, also went for Krishika Lulla's birthday.
However, Pune Divisional Commissioner Prabhakar Deshmukh said that the reports of Maanyata's illness were verified before it was approved.
"I have signed the parole application after the reports forwarded by the police and the Yerawada jail authorities were received and the reason stated is that his wife Manyata is ill and has to undergo treatment and a surgery," said Deshmukh.
Earlier Sanjay Dutt was granted a 14-day parole in the first week of October and had got a 14-day extension on medical grounds. The 53-year-old actor, who had surrendered in May after the Supreme Court upheld his conviction in the case for illegal possession of weapons, is currently serving the remaining 42 months of his five-year sentence.

Athletic Edge APE Reviews
Enhances Vascularity And Athletic Performance*View Product Info
Tried a 2 month supply and came in not expecting super human results. But I know what even a cheap container of DAA has done for me in the past and this came nowhere close to that. People are too quick to throw out 10 ratings for a product.
Jun 6, 2016
I don't like going without this stuff any more...To bad it's a bit on the steep side, the big thing for myself is the pumps and increase in metabolism. Every workout feels like my muscles are going to explode 10/10. It makes me feel really good. Small side effect was rock hard and mild soreness in the nipples.
May 18, 2016
very unhappy with this Athletic Edge felt nothing at all and they where unable to complete my order this is the first product that I have gotten from BODYBUILDING.Com that I felted disappointed in I for sure will never buy any thing else from Athletic Edge
Mar 6, 2016
I know without a doubt that LIV and APE helped me achieve a Personal Record today after just 45 days! I've kept records for 7 years and I am the strongest I've EVER been thanks to Atheletic Edge and my hardwork at 45 years old. I'm honestly amazed. Thanks! : )
Oct 10, 2015
This is an update from my previous review. I was fortunate to receive and use the updated version (2014/2015 pre-repackaging) of AEN's APE and I am exceptionally impressed with the results! While over the history of my use of this product (+/- three years to date), I did experience some varied results from a few, perhaps out date batches, I must say overall changes in my physique from using APE have been nothing but phenomenal. APE most certainly delivers in all areas of testosterone elevation, lean muscle acquisition, fat loss and overall strength and recovery. I would recommend stacking this product with an equally exceptional nitric oxide product (like AEN's Steel Edge) to experience maximum muscle pumps!

I just finished my first bottle and I rate APE as my favorite Test booster thus far. I've tried most of the brands out there and honestly the only ones that ever worked for me were P6 Extreme and now Ape. Ape to me seems to work a little better than P6 and at a much cheaper price. The reason I gave it a 9 instead of a 10 is because Test Boosters in general really don't jack up your Test levels all that much. It's almost not worth it to buy one. Now I'm not sure if it helps my gains or not but it does do a decent job with my labido and with giving me that Alpha Male feel. For the price and the results APE is the product for me!
Jan 23, 2015
Been using this product for about a week and a half now LOVE it! only have to take the pills in the morning or before workout which usually for test boosters you have to take them a few times throughout the day which is either a hassle or you forget! Also the difference in constant vascularity and my pump has gone up consistently. Definitely a great product to add to the arsenal, and i haven't seen any reason why this wouldn't make a great product if you are trying to bulk or put on a bit of size while still staying lean!

This product was excellent my first 2 cycles. I could literally see and feel the strength gains I acquired. Also dropped weight, so theres some validity to its recomposition properties. However by the 3rd cycle, these results diminished. Not sure why. Also my libido has always been extremely high, but since I stopped taking this product has dropped significantly! Don't know if I can blame this product for that or not. I did take other supplements and had a 30th birthday... Anybody experience something similar with this product?

really great product. On my 3rd bottle now. Great price here. all 3 bottles I've purchased have given me phenomenal results, I am really impressed with this test booster and I will be purchasing it again and recommending to my buddies.
Oct 18, 2014
Bought this product twice at a local retailer, now stocking up on it here for my boyfriend. This was an excellent gift and I am a very happy girl, product works as advertised and no complaints on his end or mine.
Oct 4, 2014
Started taking APE about 2 weeks ago and have now really started to notice the strength gains. I had been taking bulk DAA, but this is a better method for me as it is easier to take in pill form than trying to mix DAA with anything. Also now I am noticing quicker recovery and I feel like I can push myself more. APE will be part of my stack going forward as one of my preferred Test boosters.
Oct 2, 2014
Cant stop ordering this stuff and it's not cheap getting it to the Western Australian desert but well worth the cost. I can see the booster did not work for some people, unfortunately that's just how it is, what might work for some will not necessarily work for others. My own experience with APE has been great, I dont like exercising without it. I went without for 2 months and there was a noticeable difference in my performance and results. Mostly pros for this product and one small con which wasn't really enough to knock it down to 9/10. Pros - Energy levels elevated - Libido increase - Those wonderful pumps - Increase in appetite - Personal records broken weekly - Feeling good in general - Alpha buzz - Better sleeps Cons - Can take a week to kick in - Pricey but worth it

I truly love this product and have taken it for three cycles. This product not only helps with my strength but it allows me to aggressively handle business in the gym and continuously in the sack ( just being honest). After pulling long hours at work on the ship, out sea this is my wonder drug.
May 19, 2014
Pretty sure this product gave me some mild Gyno. Certainly no legitimate effects on strength or test, maybe a small placebo effect. Will not purchase again.
Apr 14, 2014
i Haven't tryed alot of test boosters, I did not noticed a diffrence other then a little strength increase. I Wont buy this again.
Mar 18, 2014
I have used APE a few times. If used properly it is incredible. I follow the instructions on the box and I have gotten awesome results. For example I went from incline benching 70lb dumbells for apporx. 6 reps (3rd set) to benching 80lb dumbells for 8-10 (3rd set) and 90's flat after about week 4 the strength really started coming. I am at approx. 163lbs bodyweight. Try an 8-week run of APE, you will not regret it.
Feb 23, 2014
Great ingredients and the fenugreek helps with creatine absorption. I take with phase 8, muscle rush pre, and kre-alk. Im also taking zma which I like. I dont think I need a test booster but I feel the it works to add energy and endurance.
Feb 3, 2014
TL;DR - AEN's quality control is about as effective as an elliptical - stay away from the 80 cap bottles. I've been a religious user of AEN's products for the last two years but this is the first one I've ever felt the NEED to post a review for. Last week I received the featured 80 capsule bottle of Ape along with several cans of PSU. Both products have been a disappointment but Ape has me really worried. The basic problem is that the bottle is too small for 80 capsules - several capsules were crushed but, even worse, four of them were stuck to the tamper seal! The plastic(?) film was actually irremovably bonded to the capsule. Extremely disappointing first impression, especially since I've been recommending presurge & intrabolic to literally everyone I know. Personally I can't trust the chemistry when they mess up on basics like packaging. It's sad to say this but AEN permanently lost a customer with this one...

If I buy a loaf of freshly-made bread and leave it out at room temperature for a day or two, when I reach into the bag the air inside is much warmer than the rest of the room. Why?
After reading some more stuff I actually think that crystallization of starch might be the answer to this question. There is a lot of literature about this and it might very well be that it can be sufficiently exothermic to warm the small volume of air in a bag.

Jungly Jump
By Inedible Software
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
It's not always easy to catch the low-hanging fruit.
Jungly Jump is a vibrant & deceptively challenging strategy game with one simple mission: help forest critters Squaty & Spiky shake the trees of their fruity delights. It's lunchtime in the jungle and this diligent duo of critters needs your help!
It's simple physics: launch Spiky off the end of a teeter-totter board by telling Squaty—who's hanging in the tree above--where and how high to jump.
Before Squaty takes the plunge, tell Spiky where to fly by tapping the screen to aim.
Tap the glowing fulcrum log to send Spiky soaring, and then get ready for the feast!
Satisfying their equator-sized appetite is easy at first. As you progress through the levels, nabbing the fruit gets harder and harder. Obstacles and traps such as rock-solid coconut barriers make it challenging to get the required fill of fruit. Play carefully—losing just one piece of fruit could cost you the level!
Score loads of awesome power-ups like Antigravity and Spiky-multipliers to help you gorge on the arboreal buffet.
Peel your eyes before peeling your oranges. Traps such as fruit-rotting worms and unbreakable cactus barriers will cost you valuable lives and delicious fruit.
Coconuts, honeycomb and mushrooms stand in the way between you and the delicious fruit. Use these elements to your advantage—failure will cost you the level and your two forest friends will go hungry.
There are more than 100 exciting & challenging levels across 12 different environments. It will take more than one serving of fruit to feed Squaty & Spiky!
We want to hear it. We are already at work on the next version and we would love to hear what you'd like to see. Email us at email@example.com!
We are proud to call Jungly Jump a Shiny MEDL Object. You can see all of them at www.medlmobile.com. And if you have an idea for an app that you'd like to see on the app store someday, visit www.appincubator.com.

The game play is easy and fun. The launch ramp idea is cute and my nephew loves it. He has been playing it for an hour straight. I need my phone back! I have been playing with it on my down time at work too. Its nice because you can play for a long time or just 5 min in between tasks. I recumbent if you have kids or if you need a good time killer at work.
Thanks for the fix
Hey MEDL, thanks for the fix. This works much better on my 4s. Plus I like the extra Menu and the other apps.
So great
I really love this game. I think it's mainly the sound effects that make it great. But it's totally great none the less!

I'm trying to identify which Jaeger had the most Kaiju kills. On screen Gipsy Danger had the most Kaiju kills with 9 but it seemed that some of the others had been battling (off screen) for years while Gipsy was 'in retirement'. I think Striker Eureka is said to have 10 but haven't been able to identify other's tallies.
As you can see, the official "Trading Cards" for the film Pacific Rim come complete with a Kaiju kill count;
Striker Eureka has the highest number of on- and off-screen kills with 11.
The Pacific Rim wikia contains a complete listing of all kills made

Category: Tyra Banks
Tyra Banks Made The "Bitches Of The Moment" Feud All About Her, And Thank God For That
The "Bitches Of The Moment" feud all started when Rebecca Romjin Lettuce said Instagram tricks turned models aren't true supermodels (she later cried clickbait). Stephanie Seymour then said that the term "supermodel" is a thing of the past and that Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid are more like "bitches of the moment." Kendall Jenner called Stephanie Seymour a "cyberbully." Gigi Hadid hasn't really said anything (emojis don't count!) but her mom Yolanda Foster has, which is just embarrassing. Gigi is definitely no supermodel because no supermodel lets her mommy defend her. And now, Tyra Banks has finally piped in and is using this dumb feud to talk about the strength of Tyra Banks!
Tyra Banks Is A Mom Now
Right this second in a nursery that's covered with pictures of Tyra Banks, a brand new baby boy, who is wearing a onesie that is covered with Tyra Banks' face, is making a confused look as his mother Tyra Banks tries to teach him how to smize. Ty Ty is not going to let him make his public debut until he successfully learns how to smile with his baby eyes. No child of hers is going to be seen in a picture without smizing.
Ty Ty announced on Instagram today that she and her man of 2 years, noted photographer Erik Asla (who sort of looks like a shrink wrapped Gordon Ramsay to me), are parents to a son who was born via surrogate. Tyra and Chrissy Teigen talked about their fertility issues on their now dead talk show FabLife. Chrissy is currently pregnant and now Tyra is somebody's mother.
When I read the news and saw that picture of them, I figured the surrogate gave birth to an adorable tenhead with tiny arms and legs. But Tyra said in her Instagram post that the baby's got her eyes and Erik's chin. And surprisingly, Tyra didn't name her son Tyro or Tyra, Jr.
The best present we worked and prayed so hard for is finally here. He's got my fingers and big eyes and his daddy Erik's mouth and chin. As we thank the angel of a woman that carried our miracle baby boy for us, we pray for everyone who struggles to reach this joyous milestone. York Banks Asla, welcome to the world.
York Banks sounds like the name of Carlton Banks' preppier and richer cousin who is his main rival at Princeton. And congrats to Tyra, Erik and York who better learn to smize like no other baby or he'll be disowned!

Tyra Banks Quit Her Latest Talk Show
"Oh, that exit door looks so beautiful and I can't wait for the day when Tyra Banks' ass walks through it" – Tyra's co-hosts in that picture, probably.
Here's two pieces of brand new information for you: 1. Tyra Banks had a new talk show called the FABLife and; 2. Tyra Banks is no longer on her new talk show called the FABLife.
The Hollywood Reporter says that less than 3 months after TYRA'S LIFE (aka the FABLife) debuted, Tyra has slid down the inflatable exit slide and is done with her show. TyTy said in a statement that she wants to focus on her Mary Kay wannabe cosmetics line and will no longer be on the show every day. TyTy will pop up every now and again and will stay on as executive producer until the end of the year. That's if the FABLife isn't throw onto the cancellation pile next week. Here's TyTy's statement:
"This is a very difficult decision, but necessary. I will be devoting more time to my new, growing cosmetics company, TYRA Beauty, which is expanding faster than anticipated, as well as overseeing my company's other entertainment ventures. I will however continue to support the growth and success of 'FABLife' and greatly admire my fellow co-hosts and the talented production team behind the show."
Chrissy Teigen, Joe Zee, Lauren Makk and Leah Ashley will stay on the show. There's no plans to replace Tyra. (You know in Tyra's head that sentence translates into: TYRA IS IRREPLACEABLE!) TMZ says that Tyra didn't exactly go quietly. Tyra and another executive producer didn't like each other and she was pissed that the producers went back on a promise to let her regularly push her makeup line on the show.
America's Next Top Model is also ending, so soon Tyra's face won't be on television screens for the first time in centuries. I refuse to believe that Tyra just easily said goodbye to camera to focus on some makeup line. Hmmmm…I have a feeling that Tyra left the FABLife, because she's going to try to breathe new life into the dead corpse that is The Tyra Banks Show. I hope that's true because television has truly been missing some real investigative reporting like that segment on The Tyra Banks Show where Tyra shed light on fat shaming by going undercover as Madea's sister.

America's Next Top Model Is Over After 22 Seasons
Never forget the Jane Magazine judge (the dude in the tie) from season 2.
What's the opposite of smizing? Frowzing? I'm frowzing today, because as someone who has watched every single episode of every single season, this news gives me the sads. It gives me the sads, because it's the end of a train wreck era and I'm sad because I just reminded myself that I watched every single episode of every single season of America's Next Top Model. What am I doing with my life?
Somewhere in the offices of The CW recently, an executive stood in front of Tyra Banks and the producers of Beauty and the Beast and said, "I have two of our shows standing before me, but I only have one renewal contract in my hand and this renewal contract represents the show that is going on to next season… Just kidding, you're both canceled!" The CW announced that they have canceled Beauty and the Beast after four seasons and ANTM after 22 (mostly) foolery-filled seasons. Tyra will no longer have a platform to torture future catalog models (if they're lucky) by making them do jacked-up photo shoots and by ruining their hair. Before this tragic news was announced, Tyra went on Instagram and tried to act like it was her decision. Oh, typical TyTy Baby!
Thinking #ANTM #cycle22 should be our last cycle. Yeah, I truly believe it's time. Our diehard fans know we've expanded the definition of beauty, presented what Flawsome is, tooched and booched and boom boom boomed, shown the world how to show their neck, rocked couture/catalogue/commercial poses, have found our (and your) light, strutted countless runways, gone on tons of go-sees, added guys to the girls mix, and have traveled around the globe and back again. Yeah, it's time. It really is.
Wow, I am SO proud of what Top Model has done.
The final season of ANTM is on right now and the final episode will air on December 4, 12 years after this beautiful trashy mess of a show first premiered on the UPN.
Farewell, ANTM, thank you for giving us the return of Janice Dickinson, Natasha's truth talk, Nyle's body, Rebecca's fainting spell, Tyra's ultra dramatic "We were all rooting for you!" monologue, the musical masterpiece "Shake Your Body," a busted beard weave and of course the bi-racial butterfly Jade.

The 80s Supermodel TV Show Of My Dreams Is Coming
I know, I know, technically that picture was taken in the early 90s, but who cares about petty details when there's good news to talk about for a change.
Variety says that the NBC peacock has finally pulled its head out of its ass and is doing what it should've done a long time ago. NBC is making a TV show about the modeling world in the 80s. One of George Clooney's drinking partners and one of the biggest supermodels of all-time, Cindy Crawford, is producing the drama with Anne Heche and Anne's husband James Tupper. Random IS Anne Heche and Cindy Crawford making a glamorous TV show about warring models in the 80s. Variety has a few details:
"Icon," hailing from Universal TV, revolves around the modeling wars in the '80s that occurred between Ford Modeling Agency and Elite Model Management. The show is completely fictionalized, rather than a re-telling of Crawford's own experiences. No actual names of models or figures from the time will be used.
I know we've all been waiting for Cindy Crawford to once again knock us over with her impeccable acting skills the way she did in Fair Game, but she's not going to be in it. She's strictly producing.
This world needs a lot of things, but it really needs a TV show about 80s models. I hope Cindy, Anne and Anne's husband don't fuck it up. I also hope it's a hit, because if it is, it may lead to reboots of Models Inc. and the 80s jewel that never got the chance to fully sparkle: Paper Dolls!
Actually, Cindy should just go ahead and save herself some time and just remake Paper Dolls using the original cast.

Tyra's Impression Of Lindsay Lohan Needs To Have 50% More Smoker Voice And 100% More Drunk
I know this is Tyra Banks doing an impression of Lindsay Lohan, but it also looks like Tyra Banks doing an impression of Tyra Banks trying to pull a clump of weave hair from the shower drain. Smize and yank, bitch!
Trya (typo that stays) was on Watch What Happens Live last night with toe-tapping human-looking snapping turtle Derek Hough and in between talking about the head of Victoria's Secret doing her dirty by denying her a lifetime's supply of underwear and hustling RuPaul for a guest spot on Drag Race (she means as a contestant, right?), she got around to talking about the biggest achievement in her 23-year career: the made-for-TV Disney film, LIFE SIZE. Specifically, how she's currently working on writing and producing (and starring in and directing and composing the score and running the craft service truck) the sequel, Life Size 2.
Eventually, someone called in and asked Tyra the most important question about Life Size 2: has she taken any acting lessons since she shot the original Life Size. NO! They asked Tyra if her co-star Lindsay Lohan would be returning for the sequel. Tyra said that she hasn't talked to Lindsay about it, but that it might be difficult to get her to come back. She was 11-years-old when she filmed the first Life Size, and now – as Tyra says – she's a woman who probably doesn't play with Barbies anymore:
That was quite possibly the kindest impression I have ever seen, because there was 0% of Lindsay Lohan in it. Tyra's eyes were open (wrong) and she was coherent (wrong). She didn't appear to have a stomach filled with crushed-up pills and vodka (wrong) or try to convince anyone she was sober and ready to get back to work (wrong).
But that was kind of Tyra to pretend they were ever interested in having Lindsay return for the sequel. Unless there's a part for a tired-looking messy booze-chugging party rat who steals Barbie dolls and melts down their hair to get high, there's no room for LiLo in Life Size 2.
Panty Creamers Of The Day: Joe ManJello And Other Hot Pieces In W Magazine
It's Monday so you probably woke up this morning with the hungover demons possessing your body, your breath smelling like Sunday night sangria and your eyeballs covered in crusties. You probably considered just never getting out of bed ever, because is a regular paycheck really worth getting up in the morning on a Monday? But you pulled yourself out, injected caffeine into your eyeballs, put on some clean panties and made it through the day by playing that Flappy Bird shit in your cubicle. We all made it through the day without murdering anyone (I think) or checking into the hospital because our bodies turned into a giant raisin from crying at the bottom of a hot shower for a few hours straight. Let's all celebrate with this picture from W Magazine of Joe Manganiello with morning wood eyes. Or maybe he's saying, "How about an early morning salad tossing? You do me first" with his eyes.
Photographers Mert and Marcus shot a bunch of famous hos in bed for W Magazine and some of them will give your genitals the sweats (see: Joe ManJello, STAINS' human brother Jonathan Rhys Meyers and David Gandy) and some will make your b-hole poot out a "meh" (see: Vanessa Hudgens and that busted wig on her head and Kanye's cuddle boo Riccardo Tisci).
And to answer the question in your head, no, it's not weird at all to have that top picture turned into a body pillow with holes in it. That's actually totally natural and not-at-all-crazy or creepy. Just make sure you get it in stain-resistant fabric like I did.
"1-2-4-3 None Of These Chicks Look Better Than Me!"
"Out of the way hags, a truly beautiful woman is coming through" was shouted at Sports Illustrated's 50th Anniversary party in L.A. last night when Steven Tyler sashayed on through and showed the likes of Kate Upton, Marisa Miller, Ty Ty Banks, furniture mogul Kathy Ireland, Rebecca Romjin, Heidi Klum and Cheryl Tiegs how raw sex is really done. While looking like a Dark Crystal puppet that escaped out of the Jim Henson factory to fulfill its lifelong dream of working as a Linda Perry circa 1991 impersonator, Steven desecrated hos left and right with his glamour. If you ever want to see Kate Upton burst into a tsunami of tears and run toward the exit while questioning her entire existence, put this Honest John-looking hot bitch in front of her. She will go from thinking she's hot shit to thinking she's just shit.
And since every bad bitch beauty needs a battle song, this song was obviously playing in his head as he looked all those supermodels up and down:
Steven Tyler took the night, day, morning and everything in between!

TyTy Banks As 15 Iconic Supermodels (Naomi Campbell Not Included)
Tyra Banks paid tribute to 15 iconic (her word, not mine) supermodels and since she can't pay tribute to anyone without paying tribute to herself, she dressed up like all of them. The First Lady of Crazy tweeted 3 of the 15 pictures and claims that it was all done with make-up and posing and none of the pictures were touched by Photoshop. Jezebel says that all 15 portraits were photographed by Udo Spreitzenbarth and will be displayed at Jack Studios in NYC, because this shit is art! The 15 supermodels that TyTy does herself up as include Cindy Crawford (above), Kate Moss, Cara Delevigne, Jerry Hall, Linda Evangelista, Twiggy, Lauren Hutton, Iman, Brooke Shields, Claudia Schiffer, Grace Jones, Carmen Dell'Orefice, Kate Upton, Karlie Kloss and OF COURSE a 15-year-old Tyra Banks.
Tyra needs to re-educate herself, because less than half of those models are considered icons. Where's Phoebe Price?! Where's Angelyne? And no Naomi Campbell?! I guess that feud lives on.
Anyway, here's TyTy as Kate Moss:
She's looking like a scared and cold Smeagol who eats nothing but the toe nails of children and hasn't taken a satisfying shit in years. NAILED IT! And here's Ty Ty as Cara Delewhatevervingne:
Jezebel points out that some crazy bitches on Twatter are looking at these pictures and screaming WHITEFACE. They don't think it's right for a black person to put on whiteface since it's not right for a white person to put on blackface. No, whiteface is not a real thing that exists. What really offends me is the fact that Tyra is trying to say these weren't Photoshopped and it really REALLY offends me that she didn't give any credit to my chola cousin who regularly used baby powder as a cover-up, because she said she wanted to look like a dramatic clown all the time.
There Will Be A Sequel To Life-Size
In 2000, The Wonderful World of Disney aired a doll movie that was more terrifying than Talking Tina and Child's Play combined and that doll movie was called Life-Size. In Life-Size, a young faced Lindsay Lohan plays a girl who uses magic to try to bring her mother back from the dead, but ends up giving life to the plastic doll her dad's new piece gave her. It was Mannequin for little girls and gay boys, and it was the greatest thing both Tyra Banks and Lindsay Lohan have ever done.
Ty Ty knows Life-Size is the best thing she's contributed to the world, because she's coming back for more. Entertainment Weekly says that Ty Ty will executive produce and star in a sequel for the Disney Channel.
No word yet if Life-Size 2 will star Elizabeth Taylor's #1 enemy Lindsay Lohan, but it better. How can you do a sequel to Life-Size without LiLo? My guess is that LiLo's character grew up to become a major mess and was reunited with her Eve doll after breaking into her dad's storage unit to look for stuff to sell for drug money. Then LiLo's character realizes that the Eve doll was discontinued years ago and is probably worth a lot. So she trades her Eve doll in for a bump. What I'm saying is that I really hope Life-Size 2 takes place in a crack house.
And it better have a full-length version of this masterpiece in it:
