text: OverviewBack to top Cellucor - C4 Extreme Pre-Workout with NO3 Pink Lemonade 60 Servings - 360 Grams Item# :114322UPC# :632964301123 Brand:Cellucor Size/Form:360 Grams Ship Weight:0.85 Servings:60 Dosage:1 Scoop(s) Flavor:Pink Lemonade 60 Servings Cellucor - C4 Extreme Pre-Workout with NO3 Pink Lemonade 60 Servings -360 Grams Cellucor Chrome C4 Extreme is a Pre-Workout with NO3 that generates explosive workouts! Cellucor's C4 Extreme Pre-Workout with NO3 is powdered energy. Harnessing unparalleled NO3 technology and exclusive, premium ingredients such as Creatine Nitrate, Cellucor's C4 Extreme is more advanced than any pre-workout supplement in its class, possessing the power to ignite your mind, muscles, and workout regimen, workout after workout after workout. What is NO3?NO3 is Nitrate, an advanced compound that delivers unbelievable muscle pumps and amplifies the effectiveness of every ingredient in C4 Extreme. Cellucor is utilizing a new compound where NO3 has been fused to Creatine to create Creatine Nitrate; according to a UCLA study, Creatine Nitrate is 1000% more water soluble than either Creatine Monohydrate or other creatine derivatives. Unmatched water solubility ensures better absorption and absolutely none of the traditional side effects of Creatine supplementation. You will have more energy than ever imagined possible from a supplement. You will get that extra rep, complete that last set-detonating any previous strength, endurance, and physique personal bests. Key Ingredients & Benefits:Creatine Nitrate - Creatine Nitrate is a potent "super... creatine" derivative. This patented and unprecedented compound is a fusion of a creatine molecule with nitric acid. The result is a highly absorbable creatine that simultaneously increases Nitric Oxide and ATP levels within the body. Creatine nitrate is a highly efficient vasodilator, opening up the blood pathways into the muscles resulting in superior nutrient delivery and unparalleled muscle pumps. Beta Alanine - Beta Alanine is a naturally occurring... amino acid. Beta Alanine produces higher intramuscular carnosine levels which amplifies energy levels, supports muscular endurance, and improves performance. Beta Alanine is an effective fatigue arrester- it acts as a buffer, preventing lactic acid accumulation in skeletal muscle (which occurs during exercise) allowing the body to perform better, longer. Arginine AKG - Arginine AKG (alpha-ketoglutarate)... is a potent precursor to nitric oxide. AKG increases vascularity and strength and promotes growth hormone and insulin secretion. It is an effective vasodilator, enlarging the blood pathways into the muscles, resulting in improved blood flow, muscle pumps, and more efficient nutrient delivery. N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine - N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine is a more rapidly... absorbed and bio-available form of L-Tyrosine that is less prone to urinary excretion. L-Tyrosine is an amino acid precursor to the adrenal and growth hormones epinephrine, dopamine and norepinephrine. These hormones support HGH release, and contribute to higher energy levels, awareness, and mental alertness. Mucuna Pruriens - Mucuna Pruriens is widely known as... the velvet bean. Mucuna Pruriens contains L-Dopa, a naturally occurring amino acid derivative that converts to dopamine in the brain. Dopamine supports growth hormone secretion-one of the most powerful compounds for body recomposition. Dopamine also converts to norepinephrine in the brain. Norepinephrine increases metabolism, amplifies energy levels and triggers an adrenaline response from the body. Vitamin B12 - Methylcobalamin is a potent form... of Vitamin B12, an essential B-vitamin. Vitamin B12 greatly supports cellular metabolism and energy production and aids in the production of fatty acids-broken down fats that are then easily burned. Vitamin B12 also promotes healthy nervous system function and blood formation. Caffeine - Caffeine is a powerful psychoactive... stimulant. Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system, warding off fatigue and promotes increased alertness and energy levels. Folic Acid - Folic acid is a water-soluble B-vitamin... that promotes positive mood and higher energy levels. Folic acid also supports healthy cell formation and repair.Niacinamide - Niacinamide is a water-soluble B-complex... vitamin. Niacin, or nicotinic acid, also known as Vitamin B-3, e improves joint mobility, muscle strength, and nervous system function. Niacinamide decreases muscular fatigue and increases maximal muscle working capacity. Synephrine HCl - Synephrine is a potent adrenergic... stimulator that augments energy levels and ATP synthesis. Synephrine, although milder, is structurally similar to Ephedra. The compound enhances adrenaline stimulation and promotes weight loss by amplifying fat burning, metabolism, and thermogenesis. Vitamin C - Vitamin C is an essential vitamin... to the human body and possesses a multitude of health benefits. Vitamin C augments energy production, metabolism, and possesses strong antioxidant properties. Vitamin C bolsters the body's defenses as it boosts immune system function, eradicates free radicals, and strengthens bones and connective tissues. Vitamin C promotes an anabolic physical state, reducing the stress hormone Cortisol, enhancing the Testosterone to Cortisol Ratio. Pyridoxal Phosphate - Pyridoxal Phosphate, commonly known... as P5P, is the active Form of Vitamin B6. P5P does not require any conversion in the liver and is therefore a preferable supplement form of this nutrient. Vitamin B6 augments several bodily functions including energy metabolism, neurotransmitter functions, and muscle growth and repair. Cellucor C4 Extreme Frequently Asked Questions How Do I take C4 Extreme? To take C4 Extreme, simply mix 1-2 Scoops of C4 Extreme with water (or juice) 15-30 minutes prior to your workout. Begin by using just 1 Scoop to assess tolerance. Should I take C4 Extreme with food? C4 Extreme may be taken with food or on an empty stomach. Can I take C4 Extreme with other Cellucor products? C4 can be taken with P6 Extreme for an explosive muscle-growth stack. C4 Extreme and NZero can be mixed for an ultra-lean, high-energy preworkout. C4 can be stacked with any of Cellucor's non-stimulant weight loss options and/or D4 Thermal Shock once personal caffeine tolerance levels are assessed I am currently on prescription medication, can I take C4 Extreme? If you are currently taking a prescribed medication and/or suffer from a previously-diagnosed medical condition, Cellucor requests that you consult your physician prior to using any Cellucor product. I am a drug-tested athlete, can I take C4 Extreme? Although none of Cellucor's products contain illegal substances, the answer to this question depends on what the specific athletic governing body is testing for. The NCAA, for example, prohibits the use of stimulants (such as Caffeine). Cellucor advises that athletes consult with their respective governing bodies to ensure their supplement regimen is within guidelines and obtain clearance prior to using any Cellucor product. Cellucor Brand MissionSince inception, the Cellucor brand has pursued a policy of quality, integrity, and persistent innovation centered around one mission: To deliver the best results possible while simultaneously improving the customer's quality of life. Each and every unit undergoes strenuous quality testing to ensure potency, consistency, and most important, safety. The packaging is not only an extension of premium quality, but a symbol of the brand's elite status in the supplement industry. Cellucor relies on customer's results to lead their marketing campaign and science serves as the foundation for their success. The Cellucor VisionCellucor's vision is to create the most remarkable sports nutrition brand in the world. Cellucor's exhaustive approach to research and development and their passion for results is what inspires them to continuously innovate and improve their methodologies, customer support channels, and overall product formulations. It is Cellucor's intention to grow the Cellucor brand through the most credible marketing medium known to man, "Word of Mouth." It is not part of Cellucor's strategic plan to adopt large advertising campaigns, nor is it their mission to be the most accessible brand at the retail level. Simply put, the Cellucor brand is going to place significance on quality over quantity and grow at the pace of their customer's praise. The Elite AthleteElite athletes demand results. Cellucor builds formulations to deliver on these demands. Cellucor's customers are some of the most discriminating in the industry. They research labels, live on strict nutrition diets, and work harder than most to achieve their performance objectives - because results matter! The elite athlete rarely starts out using Cellucor products for their supplementation needs. More often than not they are frustrated with their current supplement regimen or they have just flat lined with products that just don't work. They hit the street in search for the next best supplement and stumble upon the Cellucor line; usually through a friend, a fellow athlete, or a personal trainer. As they learn more, many of them contact Cellucor's Results team and pound away with questions about the products, their effectiveness, how to stack them, when to take them, and what to expect. They are met with the most knowledgeable support staff in the industry and it gives them the reassurance to give Cellucor a try. So they do… and they experience results that turn heads wherever they go.

Australia's first ever exhibition of works by French artist Edgar Degas (1834–1917) is now showing at the National Gallery of Australia, and is exclusive to Canberra.
The exhibition includes more than 120 paintings, drawings, sculptures, monotypes, prints, and photographs drawn from 45 collections from all over the world. Works are drawn from prestigious galleries such as the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.
Degas was an innovator in depicting images of everyday life in Paris. Many of the works exhibited focus on Degas' favourite subject matter—the ballet, behind-the-scenes views at the opera, the racetrack, café-concerts, laundresses and women bathing.

Home | Enrollment | Forms | Class Schedule | Parent Comments | Contact Us
A four and one-half hour class that provides divorcing or separating parents with information and strategies to help their children and themselves through the often difficult family changes caused by a divorce or separation. The primary goal is to teach parents ways that they can reduce the stress of family changes, parent effectively, and protect their children from the harmful effects of ongoing conflict that can occur when there is a divorce or separation. A.C.T.~For the Children is presented through the volunteer efforts of mental health professionals, judges, and attorneys.
Target Groups:
Separating and divorcing parents.
Mission Statement:
A.C.T. ~ For the Children is dedicated to reducing the negative impact of a parental breakup on children. The program provides parents with information and skills for protecting their children by reducing conflict, strengthening parent-child relationships, and fostering children's healthy development.
What to Expect:
The class consists of two components:
- Legal Process - addresses the factors judges consider when making a custody decision, child support, importance of complying with court orders, and ways to resolve issues of the breakup through negotiation or litigation.
- Parent and Child Well-Being - looks at the impact of the breakup on parents and children, the importance of parents taking care of themselves so they can parent well, how to have a good relationship with and provide support for your child , the importance of keeping your child out of your conflict with the other parent and ways to interact with the other parent that can reduce conflict.
- Parents are provided with a Parent's Handbook and Resource Manual. Other helpful materials are available.
- Class is taught in a downtown Rochester location - exact location to be provided with confirmation of enrollment.
Typical Parent Comments:
- "I wish I had taken this class sooner–I would have done things differently."
- "I was told by a judge to come to this class. I didn't want to be here–but I learned a lot and am glad that I attended."
- "I didn't realize how focused I was on my own problems and emotions caused by the divorce. This class helped me to re-focus and to realize how important it is to give my kids help at this tough time for them, too."
- "The class helped me to I realize that I needed some professional help for myself and my children. It is helping us all to move forward and to better cope with all the changes."
- "After this class, I will work to keep the conflict and game-playing down. I don't plan to keep coming back to court."
- "Things aren't perfect, but my ex and I are communicating better and the kids seem to be doing better."
- "Everybody should be required to attend this class."
- "The program changed our lives. It gave us all a new direction...one of hope and healing. I see too many people oozing with anger...I don't want to go there anymore."
- "It was such an excellent program. The message of healing and rebuilding is so important...there will be two healthier children because of it."

A guest post by Briana Blanchard
It's dusk on West Broad Street and the sidewalks are packed. People are buzzing through crowded spaces laughing, chatting, musing. The enthusiasm in the air is unmistakable as Richmond's cultural community gathers for its monthly ritual: First Fridays.
I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado, a place known more for its natural aesthetics than anything else. I then spent the last four years studying art history and public relations in sweet little Blacksburg, Virginia. Although I deeply love both my hometowns, I was ready for a change. I needed a place that was vibrant, exciting and full of energy. So I moved to Richmond. I was beginning to doubt my decision until I stepped out on Friday, September 7th. Despite spending years in every art gallery, art museum, and art lecture I could find, I had never experienced anything quite as engrossing as an entire street full of art and people who genuinely enjoyed experiencing it.
I began my exploration of the Richmond art world at 1708 Gallery. Everyone was chuckling over the refreshing wit of Naoko Wowsugi's None of Your Business. The before and after photos sparked conversations among both friends and strangers, something I have always deeply admired and respected in contemporary art. From there I crossed the street to ADA Gallery, a venue with a distinctly younger vibe. The deviant, faceless figures of Yann Leto's work left me wanting to know more about the local artist and his Circus Dancers. I then stepped into the substantial Gallery 5 and was greeted with the alternative sounds of Brother Wolf and their large group of followers swaying in unison. The former fire station has been expertly converted into a home for all forms of creativity with a fully functioning performance stage downstairs and a sophisticated loft-like gallery upstairs. I spotted everyone from young artists to mature visionaries discussing the comic art. The largest crowd formed around Mark Luetke's Experimental Sequence 2, hundreds of prints mounted on square tiles to form a complex storyboard that seemed to play out in every direction. It perfectly balanced a sense of monumentality while remaining light, an accomplishment I never imagined was possible in comic art.
There isn't a single gallery that can contain the energy of First Fridays. The enthusiasm spills out into the streets in the form of musicians, protesters, and performers. I even saw a man twirling balls of fire. There is something about fire that simultaneously enthralls and terrifies, so of course I stopped to stare. Standing there on Marshall Street in downtown Richmond thousands of miles from home, shoulder to shoulder with a diverse crowd of my peers and all I could think was 'I'm definitely going to like it here.'

The COPS Office is constantly looking for opportunities to help America's local law enforcement agencies make their communities safer. Like the projects they support, COPS grants tend to be problem-specific. In addition to its ongoing efforts, COPS often awards grants to build model programs, so that their successes can be documented and repeated in other communities. The COPS Office also constantly reevaluates its programs to see how they might be improved, which might be more effective if combined, and which are no longer necessary. This section of the website documents COPS grants that made an impact, and then either evolved into other programs, merged with similar programs, or achieved their goals and were discontinued.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
SOLA is a group of Christian gamers who seek to develop a community of Acceptance and Encouragement!
SOLA was formed back in June 2012 by Dosmas and a few others who were looking forward to the launch of Guild Wars 2 and have been very successful in that time. We have an overall membership of over 200 people that have played Guild Wars 2 with us at one time or another.
Due to the excitement surrounding FFXIV and the demand of our membership we have formed the SOLA FXIV Chapter.
Our Goal is to be known as friendly and helpful members of all games we play including FFXIV. We will strive to provide clean chat channels, forums and voice chat for our members and their families.
While SOLA was founded by Christians it is NOT Required for Membership. All we expect of our membership is to be respectful, and to act in an honorable manner.
We have gamers of every kind, young and old, hardcore and casual, PvEers, and PvPers. We will work to be active in all areas of FFXIV and we will strive to accomplish everything FFXIV has to offer.
The only requirement for membership is to read our code of conduct and to fill out our application with a bit of information about you. If you have any questions, comments or ever want to meet us or join us, come on over to our Web Site.
We have forums, and a voice chat system (mumble). We have active members on nightly in Neverwinter, Rift, and many other games, some of whom will be playing FFXIV.
May HE Bless us All as we tell our Story for HIS Glory!
We would hope you will check us out!
"The problem is that the hardcore folks always want the same thing: 'We want exactly what you gave us before, but it has to be completely different.'
-Jesse Schell
"Online gamers are the most ludicrously entitled beings since Caligula made his horse a senator, and at least the horse never said anything stupid."

NEW: Solaris 10 Security Deep Dive Presentation
By gbrunett-Oracle on Nov 04, 2009
Today, I am very happy to announce the availability of a new Solaris 10 Security Deep Dive training. This version has been updated for Solaris 10 10/2009 (also known as Update 8). From a security perspective, there have only been a few updates since my last posted version, but it is always good to be current. Items added in this new version include: ZFS user and group quotas, ZFS pre-defined ACL sets, NTPv4, and nss_ldap shadowAccount support. In addition, there was a bit of cleanup throughout and a new example was added for Trusted Extensions.
As usual, I have made this content available in both OpenDocument Format (ODF) and PDF. If you are using Microsoft Office, you can use the Sun MS Office ODF Plugin to read the source document.
For those of you who have downloaded one of the previous versions, thank you! There have been nearly 8,000 downloads of this presentation so far! If you have not had a chance, I would encourage you to download and check out a copy today. It is really amazing how many new and updated security features and capabilities there are in Solaris 10. If you have been away from Solaris (even Solaris 10) for a while, I am sure you will be shocked with what you can do today! As always, feedback is greatly appreciated!
Take care!

Eco Pro Tungsten Worm Weights
The Eco Pro Tungsten Worm Weights offer a more compact presentation thanks to the higher density of their tungsten composition over lead. Their extra small profile allows them to slip in an out of various structure without snagging, and since tungsten is much harder than lead as well, they also make double the sound when they hit against a glass bead or rock. Coated with a chip-resistant Seal Coat finish and featuring insert-free technology for increased sensitivity and no frayed lines, the Eco Pro Tungsten Worm Weights are also eco-friendly - helping to protect our fisheries for future generations.
