IntroductionMy body has been feeling a little beat down lately so I decided to grab a test booster to see if that would help any. Looking at this I liked the profile and it being a powder was an even bigger plus for me, I like to sip on something in the morning so might as well be something like this before my workouts.
Ingredient ProfileDoses are labeled for everything on this except or the performance blend, which with what is included in that isn't a really big deal to me.
They start off with a full clinical dose of DAA(3.12g) from past products ive used, this is one of those ingredients I believe that if you don't use an effective dose then you aren't going to get hardly any benefits from it. I have gotten by with products that have different amounts of caffeine, beta alanine, etc. but when it comes to DAA if it isn't 3grams + then it seems to be noticeable for me. They switched over to AGMASS Agmatine and a full 1gram serving of it for some pump properties, 100mg DIM a newer AI that is being used more and more in test boosters/AI blockers, a gram of LCLT for many purposes including fat metabolism, horny goat weed and nettle root for test production and performance, and then topped off with a nice 50mg of astragin for maximal absorption.
I received Cherry Limeade for this review, now anybody that has ever used a product with a sufficient amount of DAA in it knows that stuff is hard to mask. Also for me Cherry Limeade has always been a weird supplemental flavor, it usually seems to me to be sweeter version of fruity punch like flavor than a cherry limeade. With the DAA added in here though it gave it a nice little twang and even though I still didn't think It hit cherry limeade on the head I found it enjoyable. Dosing is once a day I used it in the morning before workouts to get that extra kick of pump from the agmatine. Mixing was pretty good, as mentioned in the flavoring DAA seems to always leave a little grit as well at the bottom, a few extra shakes were needed but nothing extreme.
EffectivenessNow for the part everyone cares about, how did this stuff perform? I'm mid 20s so I wasn't expecting a miracle, or tons of muscle gain, but just a boost in my overall well being feels, and maybe some performance/stamina help. 1st off ill start with feelings in the gym, I noticed fairly quickly that I just felt more confident when walking into the gym, I had some great and i need to reiterate great pumps while using this product, maybe the quality of AGMASS agmatine is just something i haven't experienced before, i'm not sure, but i was impressed there alone. My numbers on core lifts didn't go up anything more than normal, but i did feel better overall throughout the workout and day in general.
Now outside of the gym. I'll post part of this in the side effect section as well. Like i mentioned above i'm still pretty young, i don't have any problems getting in the mood for girls or meeting their expectations while in the bedroom, but while i was on this it was like i was a teen again, a pretty girl and a light breeze timed right and bam. Also when the time did come I noticed a little increase in the timing and overall feeling while performing.
There was also a little acne on my shoulders and back, but if that is going to deter you from lifting or a supplement you may want to re-evaluate yourself, to me that is a big sign that a test booster is working.
ValueYou can find the newest version of this for on average around $30 some lower some higher. I have seen a few good deals as low as $25. For a full month supply of this product and what it did for me I think this is very reasonably priced.
Side EffectsNow my only problem with this product, i'm not sure what it was can't pinpoint what ingredient it may have been, but like clockwork every morning there were some stomach issues. Luckily for me at my gym at the time i go to workout the gym is fairly empty, i can go in take care of business and go about my day, but if you are often stuck in traffic or on some kind of set schedule you may want to test the waters 1st. It wasn't a continuous type of distress, but it did happen very very often and there wasn't any ignoring it.
ConclusionOverall for me the Pro's highly outweighed the cons on this product. I felt much better while on it and for a bit after as well. I would recommend it to any of my gym buds, and will more than likely use it for my next test boost cycle whenever i feel the need to run one again. Thanks to the guys over at Ronnie Colemans SS for providing us with these products and keep improving.

IntroductionSo, I gave two test boosting products a back-to-back run. It was sort of a baton relay race. The other test booster didn't work too well, it was like a fat kid. There were high hopes for the fat kid, but in the end, quality results weren't produced. In comes Ronnie, swinging his meaty arms yelling, "Come on Fatty! Come on!" just waiting for his chance to help Gilla win the race on winning the getting old testosterone battle. Here are the results...
Ingredient ProfileQuality doses of ingredients all around. The full "clinical" dose of DAA, a nice gram of Agmatine, Astragin for absorption, Nettles Root for aromatase, Horny Goat Weed for the bonerz and Carnitine for that metbolism and lean muscle boost. A nice blend that hits all of the right areas and is indeed a "full" testosterone boosting supplement, including some PUMP!
Taste/Mixability/DosingI received the Strawberry Lemonade. It was incredible solid. A very soft fruity taste, with no chemical nastiness. I'd say it's flavoring was more on point than Aminotone's cherry limeade...which pains me to say.
Mixability was a little bit off. At the bottom, there would be settling even if I gave it thorough stirs. This isn't a problem at all, it just made the last few sips a bit flavor heavy with the clumps finally breaking down by shaking the cup.
1 scoop. It's dosed to be dosed that way and dosed that way it was.
EffectivenessSo...that relay race... I was hoping for a long lasting, boner filled two month run of madness. In the end, the first month was rather lackluster, but Big Ron's supplement helped out at the midway point.
This product got my energy up and running. I don't usually "lack" energy, but I could feel a legit difference in my day-to-day when running this product. Overall, I had a bit of "clarity" and lacked overall fatigue even on off-training days, where I usually drag ass. This product got Lil Gilla up and running. I could definitely feel the difference in my levels of horndogness while running this product. I felt the need to change my oil more often than I usually do. The pump aspect was a nice boost, even on leg days...which I'm not a fan of. Leg pumps are the suck, but a 30 day run is a 30 day run... While running the product, I did get minor acne on my back and forehead, which proved the effectiveness as well. I'm not even mad, I like knowing a product works. I wasn't aiming for any gains of any kind, just a generic boost and this product worked wonders for what I was looking for.
Speaking of running...this product gives me the runsssss son. Every time, like clockwork, about 2 hours after my workout when I'm resting, my body is like "SURPRISE MOOTHA FOOKA" and I'm running for the throne. Boy of boy does that sequence of events come and go every time. Skip the Metamucil and just run this product if you need some regularity...you'll get boners out of it too.
ValueA 30 day supply can be had for about $30. A Dollar a day for pump, dumpz and boners is a pretty good deal. Buying all of these products in bulk may save you a tiny bit of cash, but bye bye mixing and hello yummy flavor make it a good deal.
Side EffectsEach serving produces a little bit of an Oompa Loompa dancing around in your chocolate factory situation.
ConclusionRCSS produces yet another highly regarded, well-rounded supplement that gives you great results. I certainly recommend this product as a complete test boosting workout experience. The ladies will be impressed all around...just make sure you get that boom boom taken care of before going on a date, no bro wants to be running for the John in the middle of dinner.

Ingredient Profile: (9/10)
Testogen has everything you'd look for in a (hopefully) effective testosterone boosting product. RCSS includes a clinically tested dose of DAA for testosterone boosting, DIM for aromatase inhibiting properties, Agmatine for blood flow and pumps, Astragin to help improve the absorption of amino acids and a medley of ingredients including Horny Goat Weed to enhance libido. On paper, this is a very solid product.
Taste/Mixability: (7.5/10)
I had the Strawberry Lemonade flavor and while it tasted very good, this category is bumped down significantly because of how poorly this mixes. I understand that with some of the raw materials included it's hard to get mixing down perfectly but this was just out of control. There was always a TON of sediment at the bottom that never dissipated no matter how much shaking was done and an immense amount of foam. Just something for everyone to be aware of.
Effectiveness: (6.8/10)
This was very hard for me to gauge. I wanted to give this a higher rating because I believe the ingredients are high quality, and as a disclosure I feel like a lot of this can be blamed on me still being young (soon to be 24), but this simply didn't deliver on many fronts. I can't say that strength was increased at all as a result of using Testogen, and my libido wasn't noticeably different either. The one category in which I can say I definitely noticed a difference was in pumps, which is because of that big dose of Agmatine. I truly wish I could say this was a game changer, and perhaps if I were older it would be different, but I can only rate on what it did for me and this is what I experienced. I also have to mention that this came with one huge side effect: GI issues. I constantly found myself rushing to the bathroom shortly after taking this and it became irritable at times. Some days it would come with multiple occurrences. Not cool.
Value: (7.4/10)
Again, this would be different if I had a more positive experience. As it stands, this is good value in the current testosterone boosting product, but not a great personal value for me. Priceplow shows a low price of $32.86 prior to shipping, which makes for barely over $1 per serving. If you're in the market for a product such as this, there are definitely worse options at higher prices that you could go for.
Overall: (7.1/10)
As I've said many times, I feel like this review should be taken with a very large grain of salt. I'd actually most likely recommend this to older lifters who are in need of a boost, but personally, I feel like this wasn't very effective and wouldn't be worth the money. I simply don't believe a product like this is beneficial or good value to younger lifters such as myself who aren't otherwise aware if having low testosterone levels.

IntroductionHey everyone, here to do a review on Ronnie Coleman Signature Series Testogen XR, a natural testosterone booster and nitric oxide booster. I have tried the old formula of this product and thought it was good so I definitely wanted to try the new updated formula and see how it stacked up. I am 34 years old so a natty test booster makes sense for me and could definitely help me in the gym. I have taken and tried many, my favorites being Endosurge, D-Pol, Alphadex, etc. I took this for a couple weeks while on a cut, hoping it would help with leaning out, retaining strength, and endurance. I also was able to use this for a couple weeks during the holidays when I said, well, my mom is visiting from out of state and will be making all kind of delicious things for me, might as well go on a dirty bulk and hit the weights really hard and hopefully this might help me in that area too.
Ingredient Profile9.5
I really, really, like this profile. I think this product really attempts to help your workouts in a variety of ways, with some great ingredients, and most are very well dosed. I have attached the supplement facts for you to view. First up you have the clinical dose of 3.12 g of DAA, which there are currently questions around but a product that I have always liked in D-pol and bulk form. This along with the Vitamin D is supposed to provide a nice natty test boost. To supplement this, an addition from the old formula, is 100 mg of DIM, an estrogen blocker. If you can increase your test a little as well as block some estrogen a little, it should result in an overall bump in testosterone that will help you quite a bit in the gym. Nothing PH or AAS, but definitely a nice bump. Then we get some NO support with a patented version of Agmatine sulfate in AgMASS at 1 gram. For endurance support a nice gram of L-Carnitine Tartate.
Then we get a prop blend of several ingredients that are supposed to increase endurance and libido such as Stinging Nettle, Taurine, Horny Goat Weed (giggity), Green Tea, etc. The prop blend for this is a total of 1.3 grams so I doubt the doses of these ingredients are where they should be, however Testogen XR does give you 50 mg of astragin to help absorption of these ingredients.
Overall, this products claims to boost test, endurance, NO, and libido, and it looks like to me they provided the ingredients to do it.
I had the old Sensacool nonsense, and it was awful. I'm glad RCSS got rid of it and the new flavoring system is fantastic. I had the strawberry lemonade and it was very good and refreshing. Dosing is simple, one scoop 30 min before workout, however I did deviate from that some. On workout days I would mix together with my preworkout to help the pump. On non workout days I would take with a meal, with my multivitamin, like the other DAA product D-Pol. Mixability was a little tough, had to swirl and shake a couple times to get everything.
I have to take away some here for artificial dyes though. I get that you need to sweeten and flavor this thing up with all the ingredients, but I don't need the dyes. Wasn't the worse I've had that stained shakers or anything, but still, don't need it. I hope companies really start getting rid of these soon.
This is a very high rating for me, but I really responded to this product. I'll break it down in a couple areas:
Libido: Instantaneous and lasted throughout. Super important for gain? No..but it's nice. I think it also helps with that alpha feeling.
Endurance: I felt this helped me in a lot of ways. During the cutting period I was doing high rep high volume and cardio. I felt the sets and reps were easier, and not as tired on cardio. During my little dirty bulk during the holidays I went back to heavy weights, and was surprised at what I still had left in the tank. I was down to about 169 lbs, hadn't lifted heavy in about 3 months, expected a massive drop in strength but I still could hit 225 on bench 4 times. Did Testogen do this? No, but it helped me continue to hit those heavy weights again, keep me going in the gym, and recover better. I felt great and after that long of a layoff I expected hell.
Pump: On non workout days, I didn't get anything not did I expect to. However, when combined with my preworkout that contained some pump ingredients that Agmatine definitely extended and increased the pump I got.
Test boosting: There were definite signs of some moderate test boosting for myself while on this, starting at about mid-late week 2. On good natty test boosters I always have some mild breakouts on my face. I did get that, plus some on my arms and chest which usually doesn't happen. I was also very aggressive and lost my temper more easily, which was pretty inconvenient with holiday stress, etc. but I am usually very patient and calm and looking back I was going off on some pretty stupid things. I definitely had that alpha feeling in the gym and felt some increased hunger throughout. No blood work, but I felt it was working.
This is pretty expensive, but if you look at it as buying a test booster, AI, and NO support, it's not that bad. You get what you pay for. You can find this in the $40-45 range for a full 30 servings. Well over a $1 a serving, but nice combo of products. It would not hinder me from buying again, and I frequently see RCSS deals and discounts.
Side Effects7.5
On an emptier stomach, when I combined with my preworkout, I definitely had to make some urgent trips to the bathroom. That's a lot for your stomach to handle. I'd dose this as directed if you have had stomach issues before. Didn't happen every time, probably had to deal with where my stomach was at them.
ConclusionI think this is a great, versatile, and well rounded product that can help you in a lot of ways and also improve on other products you are taking. I love that's it's a combo for test/estrogen/no/endurance/libido and I would definitely purchase this again.

Introduction(Background info on yourself, diet, experience, goals, first thoughts on the product and how you discovered SR)
Huge thank you to Ronnie Coleman signature series for letting me review testogenXr when this came up for grabs I really wanted to give it a try. This is my first time taking a testosterone booster. TestogenXR claims to give you endurance, strength, and libido well let's see how this bad boy does.
Ingredient Profile(Your thoughts on the ingredients/label of the product)
This Ingredient profile is pretty clear you have D-Aspartic acid at 3,120mg may serve to support various hormones by triggering parts of the nervous system involved in luteinizing (LH) and growth hormone (GH) production. Additionally, by exhibiting direct effects on the testes, DAA may promote testosterone production. This support for testosterone can promote muscle growth, improve recovery, and support sexual health and feelings of well-being. Next you have agmass agmatine sulfate at 1,000mg you might be asking yourself why choose agmass agmatine? Because AGmass has the best taste, smell, assay and price in the market. CSI's AGmass is the best value for Agmatine Sulfate in the market today. Some of the benefits of agmatine sulfate is support increased blood flow to the muscles, increased muscle fullness and increased nutrient uptake. Next up is L-carnitine tartrate 1,000mg you might be asking yourself what is this well l-carnitine is pretty much a unique form of Carnitine, suggests added support in the way of better performance, testosterone support, and fat metabolism. There is also an AI metabolizer DIM at 100mg pretty much converts strong and damaging forms of estrogen into weaker forms so your testosterone is protected and your balance of testosterone to estrogen ratio is in check. DIM has also been shown that higher levels of testosterone and low levels of estrogen have been linked to lean muscle mass, an efficient fat-burning metabolism, and low abdominal fat. Next you have a absorption agent which is astragin 50mg pretty much this stuff helps improve the absorption of critical nutrients. Lastly you have the performance & enhancement system 1,305mg this is a blend that has a variety of different things the one that stands out to me is horny goat weed the name alone is pretty funny. Horny goat weed will help you get busy in the burger king bathroom if you catch my drift.
Taste/Mixability/DosingThe flavor I received was strawberry lemonade tasted really well. The dosing was pretty simple take 1 scoop anytime during the day with 6-8oz and for the best results make sure you have a good diet and workout.
EffectivenessNow this is where we get to the good stuff does testogenxr really work? Yes this stuff was amazing. The endurance side of it was great I felt more energize during the day even getting up at 5:45am and getting ready for work which I'm usually a zombie. But while on testogenxr I wasn't nearly has tired. I was also getting my sleep without getting up as frequently a night. Which meet my mornings was a lot better than before. I also had more energy during the day not just after the gym but more of an overall feeling of being more productive with my day. My workouts were also true to form while on this my lifts were more intense than before. I also hit some PR's on dumbell fly's 125lb for 4, bench 425 for 2, rack and pulls 465 for 3, deadlift 500 for 1. Yea the strength aspect was off the chain. My gym is pretty much straight forward either you're here to train or get the F**K out. I had multiple ask me if I was doing a cycle I said nope but you should really check out testogenXR by Ronnie Coleman it will not disappoint you. Now for the adult's only section the libido side of things this really made for more fun in the bedroom. There was no shortage of doing some wild things for a few hours to spice up the fun. It was a really nice enhancement in the bedroom with my wife she really enjoyed it.
ValueOn the Ronnie Coleman signature series website testogenXR goes for 79.99 for 30 servings which is 2.66 per serving. Totally worth the price for a solid product.
Side Effectsnone
ConclusionRonnie Colemen did a fantastic job with testogenXR if you have never tired a test booster before I would totally recommend this product. This is something I would totally buy again after the results that I got.
IntroductionSo while I was taking this product I was on a calorie deficit and just finishing up a run of DPOL and Inhibit - E. I stopped with the DPOL about 4 weeks prior to starting this. Keep the Inhibit-E during the first 4 weeks of this 8 week run. I was excited to try this stuff because it was a blend of interesting items - not just DAA like DPOL.
When I first opened the box my wife made a comment about how happy Ronnie looked on the label. Ronnie does look happy - and so was I cuz I was about to take part in a 8 week journey to gains town...
Ingredient Profile7/10
Since we are no longer putting all the ingredients in the reviews I will run down the high lights and comment on the effect/lack of effect each component had during my 8 week run of this stuff. More details in the effectiveness area.
DAA was dosed at 3120 mg - which is pretty potent versus the category average. I was expecting this stuff to provide some of the same effects as DPOL. That didn't happen for me.
The other thing that made me interested in this supplement initially was some of the other components like Agmatine, Astragalus, and Taurine. I was looking for some better pumps, fuller muscles, and that extended "just set down the dumbbell" look/feel.
The Performance & Enhancement System prop blend was another aspect of this supplement I was excited about trying - always looking to find ways to help me recover and this product seemed to have different elements that could help with that interspersed within this blend.
This stuff mixes poorly. Maybe it is just my expectation of what something mixing together should look like but dang it - no matter what I did to this stuff it was just always gritty. It took 2-3 rinses to get everything out of the glass or shaker cup.
Taste was ok - I had Strawberry Lemonade and Orange Creamsicle. Both tasted ok. Nothing awful - I didnt dread the taste. The grit was more an issue and it was an annoyance.
Dosing is easy peasy. one time a day - prior to work out or before breakfast on an off day.
This supplement was completely hit and miss with me. There were days in which my pumps were awesome, my muscles were full, and I could go forever in the gym. Then there were days where things were just - meh... The test boost, which is the primary reason for me trying this, did not seem to be there. No changes in aggression, libido, etc... I am not saying I got get weaker - but compared to the last test booster cycle I ran I didnt have the intensity and extra aggression - especially in the gym - I experienced before.
As for the pumps - they were hit and miss - some days lots; some days nots. I stacked this with the staples and was using Inhibit E in the beginning (first 4 weeks). Once I stopped using the Inhibit E pumps dropped some and never really improved over the last 4 weeks. I am sure the Inhibit E dried me out some but still - I was hoping to keep that fullness and it didn't happen for me consistently.
The recovery was pretty solid throughout. Rarely was I sore - I could get back in the gym the next day and hit ti pretty hard. Even when I would mix in the HIIT throughout the 8 weeks my recovery was pretty spot on. Not knowing how the prop blend is dosed I would still say the components of that portion of this supplement assisted in my recovery...
60 servings for $40 after a BOGO free on BB.com. I would say that is solid value for this product. That said - I wouldn't pay more than that for it after this run.
Side Effects8/10
No sides that I could note. The first day I had an "explosion" and thought - "awww man, these dudes were right about this stuff!" But after that - nada. As I said there was little to no increased aggression, libido, acne, nothing... So it is good - and bad - that there werent any sides, I guess...
I didn't get what I thought I would get out of this - consistent pumps, a full test boost, and results similar to what I saw with DPOL. It was, however, a solid product that did support my recovery and supplement my diet/lifting regimen. I would not pay full price for this - I would wait and get it on a deal like I did when I bought it BOGO @ $40 on BB.com.
Ingredient Profile: 9/10
The most important ingredient in natural testosterone booster is D-Aspartic Acid. In fact you can go to a supplement store and just buy pure D-Aspartic Acid (2,000mg minimum per serve) and mix it up with your pre workout shake and you will get testosterone boosting effect as well. This could work for budget conscious shoppers.
D-Aspartic Acid (D-AA)(3,120mg): Standard dosage for D-AA is 2,000 to 3,000 mg. D-AA can be used as a testosterone booster for infertile men, and by athletes as a temporary booster. Elevated testosterone levels only last a week to a week and a half in healthy men, with testosterone returning to normal afterward.
D-AA works in the central brain region to cause a release of hormones, such as luteinizing hormone (stimulates Leydig cell production of testosterone), follicle-stimulating hormone, and growth hormone. It may also build up in the testicles, where it alleviates a rate-limiting step of Testosterone synthesis, which leads to a minor testosterone increase.
Various clinical tests have shown that D-AA actually works and boosts testosterone level in healthy men.
Vitamin D (as Cholecalciferol)(500 I.U): Cholecalciferol to be exact is vitamin D3. 500 I.U. of Cholecalciferol is 125% of daily dosage. Your skin actually makes Cholecalciferol when you are exposed to ultraviolet rays from the sun.
Cholecalciferol is important for the absorption of calcium and phosphorous from the stomach and proper functioning of the minerals. In addition, there has been a research done in Germany where small but statistically significant increase in testosterone levels was detected in men who received vitamin D3.
I also think vitamin D3 was added for better absorption of Calcium D-Glucarate which is included in Testogen-XR.
Agmatine (1,000mg): 1,000mg is a good clinical dosage. Below are some handpicked information regarding Agmatine taken from another website.
Agmatine is a pain fighter. This can be beneficial to the athlete in two ways: It can potentiate the effects of analgesics used during recuperation from injury. It has the potential to aid post-workout recovery.
Agmatine enhances insulin production leading to better insulin response. This allows for positive effects in attaining body composition goals. Better insulin response means a harder and leaner more muscular body.
Agmatine acts on various hypothalamic and pituitary peptide hormones such as LH and GH. These will have subsequent effects on other hormones like IGF-1. Control of the hormonal environment of the athlete and you will perform better, look better and feel better.
Agmatine possesses anxiolytic (relieves anxiety) and antidepressant properties offering potential control of cortisol levels in the stressful life of the athlete.
Agmatine modulates nitric oxide (NO) through different ways. It stimulates some types of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) while inhibiting others. This is essential to the proper functioning of the polyamine biosynthetic pathways.
Agmatine acts on catecholamine (Epinephrine > Norepinephrine > Dopamine) release. These endogenous compounds are part of nearly every action in the body. Most notably for the athlete is the role that this compound would ultimately have in both energy production and aiding anticipation of the stress afforded by competition. However, there are also well-established roles that epinephrine can have on the body that includes:
Increasing endurance
Enhancing performance
Decreasing body fat
Agmatine has an antioxidant role. There can be no greater source of free-radical build up than that seen in the day-to-day activity of the athlete. The sheer stress that the body takes on when in you're an athlete in the trenches (i.e. - the gym, the field, etc...) could ultimately have significant detrimental effects with continued build up.
Agmatine can offer protection from the undesired effects that free radicals can have on the body.
For the athlete desiring body composition change, Agmatine has an independent role of insulin and testosterone management on lipid (fat) metabolism.
AstraGin (50mg): Helps in better absorption of amino acids and vitamins. 50mg is right on the dot for recommended dosage.
Performanace & Enhancement System (2,305mg)
L-Carnitine Tartrate: This substance plays a crucial role in helping your body burn, or oxidize, fat for fuel. It allows body to use fat as an energy source, carnitine transports long-chain fatty acids into specialized fuel manufacturing centers called mitochondria.
Taurine: Taurine is an amino acid that supports neurological development and helps regulate the level of water and minerals in the blood. Taurine is also thought to have antioxidant properties. In some studies, taurine combined with caffeine improves mental performance. Green Tea Extract contains caffeine but you will get more if you stack Testogen-XR with MyoBlitz XS.
Horny Goat Weed: Do I really need to explain this? LOL. Herb based testosterone booster.
Nettles (Root): Natural free testosterone booster. Studies have found that lignans in nettle bind to sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), potentially leading to greater testosterone levels.
Green Tea Extract (Leaf): Most well known green tea extract facts are fat burning properties, antioxidants, and caffeine.
Calcium D-Glucarate: There are research done showing that Calcium D-Glucarate might reduce estrogen levels. Also has detoxifying properties to remove carcinogens and toxins.
All the proprietary blend contents are good but I really can't tell whether they are clinically dosaged.
Taste: 8/10
I have personally tasted Orange Creamsicle and Strawberry Lemonade. Both are quite good with roughly 8oz (~235ml) of water but this is just my personal taste. Please try with less or more water depending on your own taste buds. I also personally prefer Strawberry Lemonade over Orange Cremsicle.
Mixability: 7/10
Doesn't dissolve completely even with a shaker. You will have some granular powders sinking at the bottom.
Effectiveness (Stand alone): 7/10
It does what it is supposed to do: Boosts free testosterone level. However, if you want to use it as a stand alone pre workout then you will not get that elevated mental state which you might look for in a stim pre workout.
Effectiveness (Stacked with Myo Blitz XS): 9/10
This combo stack will bring this product to another level! Muscle to mind connection, good mental focus, enhanced strength and endurance and great pump! In fact, I have tried stacking Testogen-XR with MTS Clash and Pre Jym as well and they all worked out great. However, it might just be psychological but I felt Testogen-XR stacked best with Myo Blitz XS.
Value: 7/10
Slightly on the pricey side. 30 servings per container. As mentioned above, if you are on a budget, you could just get some D-Aspartic Acid powder which will give you more bang for your buck for similar results.
Overall: 8/10
Overall I am happy with this product and I will buy it again. Definitely will be in my main stack for quite some time. Some other positives that might be worth noting are increased sexual drive and enhanced feeling during copulation. However the negative down sides are occasional bathroom issues (aka diarrhea) and I was informed by my girlfriend that I do tend to be more short tempered while I am on Testogen-XR. I might try out the capsule version of Testogen-XR since they have more active ingredients and no artificial colors and flavors.
Remember to cycle this product every 4 weeks as cautioned in the warning label.
Taste: 10/10
I just finished up my 30 day tub of Testogen and I will severely miss it in the morning. Strawberry Lemonade was a nice refreshing nice way to start off the day. As far as dissolving goes, you will not find anything better than this DAA. A couple swirls in a cup with a spoon and you are good to go. You may get a tiny little bit of sediment, but only a light dusting that you can swallow whole.
Effectiveness: 8.5/10
My test levels have been all over the place lately. It's really hard to pinpoint Testogen's role in my overall test increase. Over the period that I consumed it I experienced muscle gain and a better lifting experience overall. The ingredient profile is much more promising than any other DAA product IMO.
Value: 5/10
As much as I liked the product I still preferred AI's DAA better. Much more simple formula but much less agonizing side effects (which I will explain earlier). AI's DAA is also a lot more servings.
Libido: N/A
My libido has been thrown off by other products so I don't want to misinform.
Side effects: 2/10
I will keep this as mild as I can for how I feel about what this product did to my O-ring.
Almost as perfectly timed as a train, an hour after consuming Testogen I had to be seat-belted down to a toilet with a weighted vast to keep from blasting off planet Earth into orbit. I started calling it "nuclear reactor dookies" or "peeing out my butt". I would be sitting in my office going through paperwork...BANG...I have 20 seconds to get to the nearest restroom or suffer a soupy death. There were times while I was clench-walking to the bathroom I thought even the slightest misstep and the Colorado river would project out from behind me. If you were sitting in the stall next to me you'd be thinking, "Is this guy sitting down to pee right now." When I was finally done unleashing anything that has ever been in my intestines it looked like Jackson Pollock finished his most recent painting.
Summary: 8.5/10
A very good tasting and functional product that will help you obtain your goals, but(t) at what cost.
Hope this helps.
A couple months ago I was hanging out at a mall with my fiance and I was very glad to see some of the RCSS at a sport shop so I immediately bought one.
As recommended. 1 scoop preworkout or prior breakfast on off days.
Taste: 9/10
I had the wild berry. It's sweet and gives me a slight rush after drinking it.
Mixability: 9/10
Mixes very easily
I won't list nor discuss any of the ingredients since it's been done several times in previous reviews.
Effectiveness: 9/10
I was on a recomp and aiming to gain strength and I find test boosters a perfect match for this kind of goals.
Stack: TestoFX from AllMax (Was on my 7th week when I started testogen)
Creapure from allMax
Allwhey from AllMax
Combat from musclepharm
Mega men from GNC
Mood : 8/10
Since week 1 my mood got better most of the time but I could get angry very quickly which wasn't in line with my personality. I think test levels were high! I managed to calm down and deal with this issue after a few days though.
Pumps: 7/10
Pumps were OK , sometimes crazy and sometimes even nonexistent. I was expecting this instability since agmatine always works this way for me.
Pumps: 8/10
Vascularity is more noticeable even on my hairy thighs. I know getting leaner helps a lot but I'm sure testogen plays a good role.
Strength: 9/10
PRs came like rain on the third week even though I was on a very slight caloric surplus and only on training days while eating on a slight deficit on off days.
It's the 7th week now (2nd container) and the progress rate still steady despite it is the only test booster I'm taking right now.
Endurance : 7/10
Endurance was good. Combined with creatine I get the feeling of not wanting to leave the gym and it helps with cardio sessions.
Recovery: 7/10
Long and short term recovery were boosted. I need shorter rest between sets and the muscle pain is reduced. As for the next day I also felt it helped me a bit with soreness.
Muscle building and fat loss: 9/10
Arms, chest, thighs measurements remained the same while waist's was decreasing on a weekly basis to end up losing 1.4" in 7 weeks which is great when the goal is recomp
This is a proof I was gaining muscles while losing fat.
My weight dropped 2.7 lbs in the process.
Side effects: 9/10
I had no bathroom issues, no acne, no stomach disturbance, no headaches, I had nothing negative but the short temper that I knew how to deal with and it's all good.
Value 8/10
It is on the pricey side but understandably. I think it could be cheaper anyway.
Taste and Ingredients - 10
I will not go over the ingredients since they have been covered extensively in the other reviews. I had orange creamsicle and I liked the taste and there were no mixing issues. I would mix it with some caffeine and creatine in the mornings.
Effectiveness - 9
I have taken test boosters before but this one seemed to work the best. I did not notice much recovery wise but I hit several pr's in the gym. I set new maxes on front squat, clean & jerk and even beat some of my best times on several "wods." Even though I train for CrossFit, I found this product super effective and I was sad when it ran out. I also noticed a clear boost in libido and no acne like some reviews have stated.
Value - 9
For 25-30$ this seems like it is a pretty good value, I just wish the container was a little bigger.
Overall that's what I thought of this product and I would definitely try it again.

I'm listening to the popping fireworks outside and thinking of last year when some lovely neighbors two doors down set our lawn on fire. Emmett was so angry. I went outside this evening for a moment and saw the neighbor in between us was hosing down her yard, trees, and roof in preparation for this year's festivities. I had to chuckle.
This morning was spent cleaning the house and playing with Quinn. I forced myself to play music, something Emmett always thought to do, so it wouldn't be so quiet. It occurred to me that this was the first time I had cleaned my house in... well, let's just say I can't remember. Between parents and friends helping out, it may have been over a year since I have done more than the occasional spot clean. Six months ago, I wouldn't have even thought my house was dirty because I hardly noticed those things.
When Emmett was sick, there was no down time. I woke up in time to get dressed, give Emmett medicine, get Quinn to school, go to work, come home, snag some time with Emmett before picking Quinn up and finishing the evening with frantically preparing things for the next day before I could snag a few hours sleep. I think back and wonder how I made it through. There was no free time, no need to make decisions about how to spend my time. Everything was portioned out with no margins. Occasional free moments were spent at the gym or reading in a desperate attempt to preserve my sanity.
The past few weeks, although not packed quite as tightly, were also filled with things to do while I had the help I needed. With Emmett's services, two birthdays, countless friends and family to see, and numerous details to put in order, my schedule has felt very much the same - moving from one thing to another, putting out the nearest fire and moving on. But now, this week, starting today, there is a new kind of normal. Today was filled with wide open spaces of time. We played, I cleaned, I napped, we visited friends, and yet I still managed to feel anxious, as if I were forgetting something.
So I'm in training to teach myself how to handle free time, to learn to have interests again, and to be still. It's not going well so far, but here's to hoping it gets easier.

A New Normal

it will get easier. thinking of you.ReplyDelete
I'm hopeful that, bit by bit, the anxiety will give way to joy in those things that had to be put aside temporarily. But also understanding that it's easier said than done.ReplyDelete
Praying for you and Quinn. Still going to set aside nap time as prayer time for you.ReplyDelete
praying that the Lord's presence and comfort would fill the open spaces, assuring you of His love. we love you and Q.ReplyDelete
Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God.."ReplyDelete
It seems like such a simple thing to do, being still, but I think it is possibly one of the most difficult things. I pray that God will bless you with stillness (a prayer I pray for myself nightly).

He joined the one where he played modern games – in short, the game club. Kishimine was supported by the beautiful student council head and a perverted teacher, and he displayed unexpected talent.

TransUnion, one of the nation's
major credit reporting bureaus forecasted today that one of the primary
consumer credit variables — mortgage delinquency rates – will continue to
decline through 2013 while the other – credit card delinquencies will increase
The ratio of borrowers 60 or more
days past due on their mortgages is projected to decline to 5.06 percent by the
end of 2013 from an estimated 5.32 percent at the conclusion of
2012. TransUnion forecasts mortgage delinquencies, a statistic generally
considered to be a precursor to foreclosure, will decline in 34 states and the
District of Columbia with only 13 states experiencing increases.
Mortgage delinquencies peaked in the
fourth quarter of 2009 at 6.89 percent.
This marked the 12th consecutive quarter that rates rose,
starting at 1.94 percent in the fourth quarter of 2006. This was an unprecedented 255 percent
increase in three years. The return to
normal levels has been much less dramatic and nearly three years after that peak
delinquency rates have only dropped 21 percent to 5.41 (Q3, 2012) and, if the
TransUnion forecast holds, will only have dropped about 27 percent by the end
of 2013 and would still be well above the "normal" range of 1 1/2 to
2 percent.
"The slow improvement pace we
are experiencing right now seems to be less about new borrowers not being able
to make their payments and more about existing borrowers who have been
delinquent for a very long time," according to Tim Martin, TransUnions
group vice president of U.S. Housing. "For example, our analysis
shows the delinquency rate would fall to around 2.5 percent, or pretty much
normal, if we simply took borrowers who haven't made a mortgage payment in over
a year out of the calculation. By comparison, pre-recession, it was
unusual for a borrower to go more than 6 months without either being able to
cure their situation or go through the foreclosure process.
"While we are encouraged by the
direction of the forecast," Martin said, "we would have hoped for a projection
that called for a more substantive drop in delinquencies. If the pace of
improvement does not pick up, it will take a very long time to get back to
'normal' delinquency rates."
The ratio of credit card holders 90
or more days delinquent on one or more cards is expected to remain relatively
low throughout 2013, increasing slightly from 0.83 percent in the fourth
quarter of 2012 to 0.87 a year later. Between
2000 and 2011, the credit card delinquency rate has averaged 1.24 percent
during the fourth quarter. In the 51 quarters since Q1 2000, the rate has
only been below the 0.90% threshold 10 times.
Credit card debt per borrower, which
has been relatively low since 2010, is expected to rise in the next year from
its Quarter 3 level of $4,996 to $5,050 in Q4 2012 and $5,446 at the end of
2013. This would be the highest credit card debt level since
2009. Average credit card debt per borrower peaked at $5,776 in Q1

I am in desperate need of a walmart that still sells fabric. I know there are atleast 2 WM's in Paducah but what I don't know is if they still sell fabric on the bolt. I would hate to take the 45 minute drive to find out that they don't have fabric. My WM still carries fabric but they don't have what I need and won't be getting anymore in because it was a summer item. So if you happen to live in Paducah can you please tell me if they still carry fabric.
Thank you

Ladies and gentlemen… we have an idea for you. It's a brilliant idea too! With Christmas approaching, it's time to get strategic. Buy your other half a gift voucher for a "couples special" at Hidden Cove Day Spa. That way, you'll be spoiling your beloved with a fantastic present AND you'll be totally pampered as well. It's such a clever plan, and you'll be ever-grateful when you meet Jerilee Pawlowski and Jeenie Deneulain as we did last week.
Hidden Cove Day Spa: Real Find
You'll find Hidden Cove in Tinderbox in the D'Entrecasteaux Channel region, about 25 minutes from central Hobart. It's an easy drive via Kingston and Blackmans Bay; and a mere hop, skip and a jump from Villa Howden. Upon arrival, expect to be greeted at the front door with a warm smile. The lovely Jerilee welcomed us into her day spa and treated us like royalty. We also met her experienced and equally lovely colleague, Jeenie.
Shown to the treatment room, we were introduced to a pair of massage tables and left alone to disrobe and get comfortable under the towels. The room was liberally scattered with Phaska candles. Jerilee and Jeenie returned to work their magic and sooth our tired and stressed bodies. If only we could be transported there again right now!
Hidden Cove Day Spa offers clients a vast range of treatments and packages. We're talking here about the couples special; but judging by the quality of our experience, all the options would no doubt be equally impressive. Reflexology, manicures, pedicures, waxing, tinting, facials, spray-tans, make-up… Jerilee will have you looking and feeling a million bucks. A hot stone massage? On the bucket list.
Massage to Day Spa
From the massage tables, we adjourned across the courtyard in our fluffy robes to the 8-seater spa room. A bottle of champagne and a home-made platter with cheese, dips, olives and crackers was awaiting our arrival. It was all divine. The spa was beautifully heated, and we sipped bubbles as we gazed over the river views. That was pretty divine too!
Jerilee trained and worked as a chef before a major career-change, re-training as a beauty therapist. She went on to further study in the health therapies field, but has always retained her interest in food. Every choice for the platter was simply perfect, taking full advantage of the fresh Tasmanian produce available. We can imagine the picnic baskets and high teas prepared for guests would be exemplary.
There was one teeny, tiny "flaw" (if you could call it that) in our otherwise perfect Hidden Cove Day Spa experience, and you could possibly benefit from our hindsight. We really wished we could've stayed the night! Having to leave the day spa and return to the real world was less than ideal, to say the least. It would have been heavenly to retire to the retreat with the remaining champagne and cheese and take a nap before dinner.
Day Spa to Overnight Accommodation
There are plans in place to develop brand new chalet accommodation at Hidden Cove Day Spa to cater for additional guests. The chalets will have a particularly special hillside location, affording views over the D'Entrecasteaux Channel to the South Arm Peninsula. Besides the views and obvious treatments, the surrounding region offers a wealth of attractions and opportunities for visitors. Although Jerilee can prepare meals for guests, she also happily recommended dining at The Beach Restaurant in nearby Blackmans Bay.
In our humble opinion, Hidden Cove Day Spa is already brilliant and soon to be even more so. But as always, you should make up your own minds when you visit in person. We'd be very pleased to know we've inspired an indulgent treatment or two upon publishing this article. And maybe… just maybe… there will be a very special opportunity for Think Tasmania readers to win a prize couples package just like ours, with thanks to Jerilee. We told you she was lovely!
9 December 2013 – The Hidden Cove Day Spa Competition is NOW OPEN.
For bookings or more information, visit Hidden Cove Day Spa online; email Jerilee Pawlowski or phone (03) 6229 6050. You can also follow Hidden Cove Day Spa Retreat on Facebook. Think Tasmania were guests at the day spa, located at 197 Tinderbox Road, Tinderbox.

New Manchester United manager David Moyes aiming to strengthen squad quickly with tough start ahead
As if the challenge facing David Moyes at Old Trafford were not forbidding enough, the new Manchester United manager could have been forgiven for wondering if someone was willing him to fail after the Barclays Premier League's fixture computer handed him the cruellest of starts.
After a tricky trip to the Liberty Stadium to face Swansea City on the opening weekend of the season on August 17, Moyes's first competitive match at Old Trafford will be against no less than José Mourinho's Chelsea a week later. From there, a home game against Crystal Palace is sandwiched between daunting visits to Anfield and the Etihad Stadium to play Liverpool and Manchester City respectively.
"It's a tough start and I'm not convinced that's the way the balls…

Wrong time to thump your chest!!
Reminds me of the bears beating their chests a couple of weeks ago when the market pulled in 4%, even though they were short since 666, and their portfolio is burning to the ground.

If it kills me
All pics courtesy of Jess's camera--Thanks hun!!!
I know I should be sleeping seeing that I've an 8.30am class tomorrow but I just can't help it!!!
The title refers to my fave song from Jason Mraz's We sing.we dance.we steal things album,which he sang a few hours ago during his first ever concert in Malaysia!!!!!!!!!!
IT WAS AWESOME.Scratch that..it was beyond awesome..There were many of my friends who was raring up to go to the concert &we discussed about it many time at my FB account.
Believe it or not,when my friends and I were caught up in the traffiq jam leading up to the concert,there was this 4 people in a red saga car who out of nowhere,showed us,through their car window,Jason Mraz's current cd!NO JOKE!!We were laughing & I was like pointing to them like,yeah we're going to the concert too..hehehe.And I showed them my ticket through the window which made the guy open the car window & shouted 'Jason Mraz rocks!!'...Exactly!!!!
The concert was awesome..I'm even more in love with Jason Mraz than ever.He was so funny & his vocal range was amazing!!And here's the order of the song that he played during the 1 hour & 30+ minutes concert that started at 8.30 pm.
3rd :If it kills me--my fave & he sang the whole song!!I was soo in awe..*sigh*
4th:I don't know the title--an old song or a brand new unreleased one??
5th:Live High
6th:A beautiful mess--also a fave of mine from the new album.
7th:Geek in the pink--which made me scream so loud because before the song started,I told Acad that I wish he'd sing that song!I sang along to the whole thing!
8th:The dynamo of volition--love his 'hip-hopper' impersonation before the song.
9th:I'm Yours--Everybody sang along to it!!And after this song he took like no longer than 5 mins break to change his clothes to sing...
10th:Lucky--he duets with Candy which a lot of people didn't recognize & to be honest,ALL of us could have sung together better than her!
11th:Another song that I've no idea the title of it.
12th:Butterfly!!!--one of my fave too for obvious reason(the title!!).
But I really wished he had sang Bella Luna & Details in the fabric..huhuhu.After the concert,as we were waiting for other cars to go out,because it was blocking my Unser...we heard a commotion across us,which was the backstage area.Lo and behold,Jason Mraz & his band was about to board the bus to their hotel..AND...I ran across the street,pushed my way inside the crowd &manage to stand below him,under the bus window & had a CLEAR view of him from upclose!!!waarrrgghhhhhhhhhh..

To Pill People, it began as "The Old Road" and can be seen on the oldest of maps. Then as the great changes of the last four decades took place there grew a need for a link road from Pill to Maesglas - Duffryn and Tredegar Park. The single carraigway of the original road was soon out of date as the M4 reached boiling point and new industrial parks grew on the waste areas left behind by the railways. In 2003 /4 work began to expand the width and re align the course of the distributor road . A far cry from the old road to Maesglas. Ponds, reens and pig farms. Allotments and steamy shunting engines and the omnipresent aroma of pigs , creasote and things unmentionable to be found under the three railway bridges.
The work which lasted some time happily unearthed many artifacts of Victorian Pill. Tram lines opposite the Waterloo Hotel and the railway lines of the Old GWR Docks Branch. In these pictures we see South Pill , the work being carried out and what they discovered beneath the ground.

Soundtrack review: Creed (Ludwig Göransson – 2015)
I am very amazing happy to be able to write this intro. This feeling right here is why I consider Sylvester Stallone one of my favorite actors and film makers: he's created characters that I've been watching for dozens of years and I am still hungry to see. I can't get enough of Rocky Balboa stories. I grew up with this character and, just like Sly, I like to check in on him every now and then. I know all his life and I want to know what he's doing. Lately, he's been training Apollo Creed's son and I can't wait to see what happens. The Rocky franchise has provided some iconic scores and my favorite is still Vince Di Cola's powerful composition for Rocky IV. This time Ludwig Göransson takes the scepter from Bill Conti and Di Cola and I wish for the same amazing impact Lorne Balfe's new take had on the Terminator music: new themes as well as nods to the old ones… I am so happy to be reviewing a current Rocky score…
The opening of the score surprises me a bit. It has a "Sicario" vibe going for it and that uncomfortable and murky echo gives me chills before it morphs into a tender piano theme. "Juvy" is short but manages to take me through an entire palette of emotions. I can't help but think of the Rocky franchise music legacy. Bill Conti was the melodic and spectacular one while Vince Di Cola brought the grit and motivation needed for training. Ludwig Goransson explores the quiet reflective moments of the story. I can just smell the cold early winter's Philly air when I hear the vocalizations from "Meeting Rocky"; they make me think of the street corner band from the first Rocky movie. This cue is so intimate and powerful that it instantly brings a wave of nostalgia over me. It makes me remember my own formative winters, my college winters with all the discovery and comfort feelings they brought. The music travels familiar paths inside me and I want to play it while I read my college diaries. This cue shoots instantly towards the top of my best of the year. This is also one of the moments when the movie voiceover works like a charm. Welcome back, Rock!
The composer gives nods to the original themes in the music first with his own take on the idea of redemption. It's a violent and inspirational cue that breaks the reflective mood of the score. I don't know how he did it but Göransson somehow made the music sound very Philadelphia authentic, based on what I learned about that city from this movie franchise. There are gritty moments, there are a cappella vocalization and the entire mood makes me think of brotherly love. The music is mostly contained and intimate and brings one of the sounds that are most comfortable and dear to me. Listening to this music that feels like real life makes me anticipate the movie even more. The alert moments feel real and easy to connect to; I can related to the flow of the score because nothing is exaggerated or superfluous: this must be one of the most real and honest scores I've heard in years. The moody piano vibes and the slow paced romance motifs make me think that this composer is much more musically mature than I would have expected.
I love the sound of "The Sporino fight" because the musical pulses make me think of breathing and punching. I feel like I'm inside the rink. It's just another example of the treasures you will find in this score. But then again when you will listen to "Creed" you will get more than a score. Often I listen to a film music album, I like it or not, I write about it and move to the next. Ludwig Göransson's composition felt more like a life experience in a familiar city I haven't visited for years rather than a simple album. I lived, I loved, I fought, I felt, I doubted myself and ultimately I won during this rich and memorable hour. I had moments when I felt alone, moments when I got very emotional and moments when I knew just what path to follow. Just as Adonis Creed had Rocky in his corner, I had Ludwig Göransson's music to guide and inspire me. What's even better is how this score fits in the legacy of "Rocky". With the inserts of Bill Conti's theme sprinkled throughout the score, with the way the piano motifs feel and with the choir in "If I fight, you fight (training montage)" which is the son of "Gonna fly now", this score couldn't have been part of any other franchise and wouldn't have worked for any other movie. Do not miss it!

Fish is the program (for Windows, Linux, and Macintosh) to edit and upload patches for Shbobo devices (SHNTH and SHTAR). With the release of the new Shbobo SHTAR, the program has received an overhaul. Most noticeably, the older system of tabbed soups has been replaced with a universal map of the whole file as loaded. Thus, soups are all visible, adjacent to each other. It is like a world map, and users are encouraged to use both horizontal and vertical layouts to organize their patch ideas.
To facilitate navigation, there is a Zelda, or world map, like the Photoshop navigator, so you can click on different parts of your world and teleport there.
The expression selection system now follows keyboard focus. Only one expression can be focused at any time, when it becomes the current object being edited. In the following picture, "slewb" is selected, as indicated by a yellow plaid fill:
As selected, various editing operations can be enacted, in addition to drag-and-drop stuff, as detailed on the "Edit" menu:
Most are self explanatory, but let's talk about the "Reference" command. This is important for writing patches in core Shlisp, where it enables feedback loops most notably. A reference is simply a fish-expression, with its "cdr" removed, so it is just the "head" or "opcode". Thus (horn 64 64) becomes (horn) as a reference. At runtime, this expression will yield the last computed value of that opcode.
TypewritingPatches can be composed visually, mostly through dragging and dropping, but also keys can be used almost identically to the way they would be if it were a vanilla text editor. For example, I typed the following keys into a new file:
- {
- (
- "left"
- enter
- (
- "horn"
- enter
- space
- space
DoubleclickDoubleclick shall become an important tool in this new version. As mentioned, a doubleclick on any recipe will upload it to the device. However, if you double click on the head of an expression, the symbol that denotes its opcode, the program will open up a representative help file from the local "tutor" directory. Thus doubleclicking "horn" will open up "horn.txt" to explain it.
Fish Soup Tank BoatLet's review what expressions are. In lisp, there is only one kind of expression, besides symbols, the parentheses, (). In Shlisp, as it stands, there are Fish, and Soup, respectively denoted as () and {}. Fish is a DSP core expression, and Soup is a preset. The new version of Fish paves the way for two new types, known as Tank and Boat, denoted as [] and <>. They are not implemented yet, but Tank will be for listing things and Boat will be for scripting things in classical Lisp, thus the possibility for generative patches. Note that the previous version of Fish had randuplicate, and this has been eliminated because Tank and Boat will be bearing the burden of generating permutations of patches.
The new version of Fish is available at shbobo.net, as shbobo.zip

While some choose to hibernate in anticipation of the warmer weather around the corner, we here at Bustin HQ have been charging full steam ahead working on some exciting new projects revolving around our Skate Everything belief system. To us its 100% skateboarding 100% of the time and our goal has never wavered or faltered as we have continuously been driven to make skateboards for the skateboarders out there pushing the boundaries and blurring the lines. Welcome to a review of the various happenings that have been going on with us this past week that we hope stoke you out to get out and push around for your self.
What's up in the Warehouse:
Our warehouse wizard "Bruce Layne" has been busy getting after spring cleaning duties early making sure everything is in tip top shape heading into the new year. This attention to detail hasn't just pertained to product placement but has also seeped out into the over all skate-ability of our warehouse space. New features have began to pop up allowing us to connect lines through the aisles as we rage around HQ picking and pulling product to get your orders ready each and every day.
Complacency is a killer which is why we are always striving to keep all things new and fresh around here which goes ten fold for our art department in the print shop. Being able to offer any individual the ability to create a board uniquely their own is something we take great pride in which is why our dudes Max and Jay are deep in the rabbit hole of burning screens featuring new designs that will be offered on our customization program soon! Be on the lookout for these new graphics to begin dropping on the site a little later this year as the final line up continues to be dialed in.
Since day one we have operated an extensive R&D department that has completely developed all the molds and shapes along our journey, some of which have stood the test of time and have evolved into the current set of sleds we offer today. The mad scientist behind our latest creations Jonathan, "Bubbles" Nueman has been hard at work preparing the next chapter in the Bustin Boards building story as he has began the initial test runs on the newly operational industrial presses. Production runs of some of our top end models will begin soon as well as one off batches of uniquely crafted shapes that will be brought to market for the great pleasure of the general public.
After reading all of your comments on every photo posted of Matt K. asking about his shred sled choice we have decided to make it possible for you to skate like Matt by grabbing a YoFace39 from a limited release small batch that we whipped up. Don't sleep on your chance to rep one of these boards because when they are gone, they are gone for good… or at least until we press more.
Media Releases:
A new edit featuring our dude Toti getting all jazzed up on his Max B. pro model just dropped earlier this week.
Many of the members of #TeamBustin have been on the road touring across the country hitting shops and sessions along the way. Check out Part I of the #BustinYoStates Tour highlighting the groups time in California.

IPhone dining guide Ness nabs $15M to expand beyond restaurants
The Silicon Valley makers of iPhone application Ness have received a five-star review from investors. The company closed a $15 million round led by SingTel Innov8, the venture arm of Singapore Telecommunications.
Founded in 2009, Ness Computing intends to help people discover places. The startup released Ness for iPhone one year ago, and the application pivots around a "likeness" score that predicts how much a customer will like a restaurant, using a 0 to 100 percent scoring system. Users leave bite-sized reviews in the form of one to five-star ratings, and Ness combines those ratings with social data from Foursquare and Facebook to perfect its score.
Ness ultimately wants to tell you more than where to just grab a bite or pick up a cup of coffee; it wants to show you what to do, see, and buy. American Express, existing investors Khosla Ventures and Alsop Louie Partners, and an affiliate of the LeFrak Organization participated in the startup's latest round, which Ness will use to develop into more of a personal shopping tool for mobile.
The three-year-old company, which competes with Yelp and Foursquare, has the multimillion-dollar confidence of investors because the algorithms used in Ness's search and recommendations engines can be applied to areas such as bars, nightlife, travel, movies, music, shopping, and beyond, Ness cofounder Corey Reese said.
"The risk area that we've mitigated … was that core technology development," Reese said, comparing the sophistication of his company's search technologies to those employed by Google, Amazon, and Apple.
But a startup that's hesitant to share the size of its active user base, as is this case with Ness, is not one that typically instills confidence in its health (at least for this reporter). Reese insisted, however, that Ness intentionally chose not to focus on user growth and opted instead to improve the technology powering the application.
"We're using this next round of financing to focus on growing the user base and getting out into these additional categories," he said. "We spent a lot of time improving our recommendation technology, developing our own new algorithms … and we've been generating a tremendous amount of data from our users."
On the data front, Ness users have contributed more than 3 million ratings to the system since the iPhone application's release last August. On average, people generate 17 ratings the first time they start using Ness, Reese said.
In addition to going after users, Ness will apply its fresh $15 million in financing to move into the new verticals mentioned above, piece together even more signals from channels such as Twitter and credit card transactions to perfect the scoring algorithm, and continue to focus on product craftsmanship, Reese said. The startup also hopes to release an application for Android by early next year.
Ness Computing has raised $20 million in total funding to date.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Thousands of miners stopped work Sunday evening for the first strike in South Africa's key gold sector since 1987 after wage negotiations collapsed last week.
The strike is expected to cost the industry up to $20 million (130 million rands) a day, according to the Chamber of Mines, which represents employers.
The National Union of Mineworkers said up to 80,000 workers were expected to join the strike, which started at the beginning of the evening shift. The major gold companies could not immediately confirm the figure.
Some 10,000 members from the Solidarity union are due to join the strike on Monday afternoon and may be joined by members of a third union later in the week.
The chamber is offering pay hikes of 4.5 percent and 5 percent, depending on the position. The unions argue this is less than the increase in cost of living, which they put at 5.7 percent.
The NUM is demanding increases of between 7 percent and 8 percent, down from earlier demands of 10 percent to 12 percent, and other benefits.
The gold industry is one of South Africa's main export earners.
