Muscle Warfare NMDA D-Aspartic Acid (DAA) Formula Highly Explosive Amino Acid Anabolic Hormone Ammunition
Muscle Warfare NMDA D-Aspartic Acid (DAA) Formula is a groundbreaking, patent pending new technology being released to the sports nutrition world by Muscle Warfare. NMDA is a highly potent hormonal support agent that is designed to help increase the production of anabolic hormones in the body.
The Biggest Performance Enhancement Break Through for Endogenous Testosterone, Growth Hormone and IGF-1 production Of This Century!
D-Form Amino acids have been overlooked in science due to poor/lack of research in the early part of the last century that "inaccurately" showed that they had no nutritional value. Fortunately for Muscle Warfare's customers, this early research was far from the truth! The two primary components of this formula are D-Aspartic Acid and N-Methyl-D-Aspartic Acid. These unique amino acids have been shown in countless studies to elicit tremendous support for testosterone, growth hormone, IGF-1 and IGF-2. Once you use it, you will know it is different from anything else you have ever tried before. NMDA also contains synergistic co-factors to help maximize the hormone increases and other desirable effects of this product. Muscle Warfare has run multiple studies on this formula to determine optimal effective dose for long-term use.
Here is how it works:D-Aspartic Acid is an amino acid that is naturally found in high quantities in the reproductive organs, hypothalamus and pituitary. Through a SAMe dependent, methyl-transferase reaction called NMDA sythethetase, D-Aspartic Acid is converted into N-Methyl-D-Aspartate, which is a potent stimulator of the N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor pathway. D-Aspartate is found in the hypothalamus, pituitary and testis in extremely high quantities during periods of heightened physical and sexual maturation. Considered by Muscle Warfare researchers as the master amino acid hormonal regulator, oral ingestion results in heightened hGH, GhRH, Testosterone, LhRH, IGF-1 and IGF-2 levels.
D-Aspartate, via steroidogenic pathways, enhances all aspects of sexual performance as well as the development of body weight gain via lean muscle mass development. D-Aspartate also induces potent elevation of neurotransmitters such as dopamine & GABA, which are implicated to be responsible for its memory enhancing, anti-depressive & nootropic effects. D-Aspartic Acid is found naturally in cheeses and meat and also converted from L-Aspartic via the aspartate racemase enzyme. Additional benefits of D-aspartic Acid are its ability to enhance Nitric Oxide production and accompanied (N02,NO3) blood levels.
A welcome side effect often reported with use should be noted. Due to the profound hormonal increase and simultaneous stimulation of the N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor, D-Aspartic Acid is a very potent sexual performance stimulator, enhancing libido, erection quality, ejaculate, duration of intercourse and perceived orgasm intensity.N-Methyl-D-Aspartate is deemed 100 times more potent than D-Aspartic Acid at stimulating the NMDA receptor and is a potent synergist to the formula. Additional co-factor ingredients have been added to the formula to help improve the conversion of D-Aspartic Acid into N-Methyl-D-Aspartic Acid and also enhance the hormonal increasing properties. These are the methy donors Trimethyl Glycine and SAMe. Additionally, the mineral blend is designed to support free testosterone levels by inhibiting the binding of testosterone to SHBG. Additionally, it modulates the NMDA receptor ion channel to insure proper function. The Herbal Support Blend is designed to promote the dramatic increase of the anabolic hormones testosterone and growth hormone and also suppress cortisol and prolactin. Finally, the Myobolic Serms 1&2 are designed to help reduces estradiol levels, increase testosterone production and promote growth enhancing effects.
As a dietary supplement, NMDA may be taken 2-3 times daily. To assess for tolerance, begin use by taking 1 capsule 2-3 times daily. The first dose should be taken in the AM before breakfast, the second dose before lunch and the final dose before dinner. Very experienced users may take 2-3 capsules, 2-3 times daily, Do not exceed recommended dose.
Cycle Info: NMDA may be used as a stand alone hormone support agent. It may also be used in combination with The Warfare Stack for maximum strength, NMDA cycle length may last up to 2-3 months followed by a 1 month off cycle. Pyramid dose by tapering at the beginning and end of your cycle.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- A trash can designed to sort recyclables from garbage won first prize at a 36-hour hackathon competition at the University of Michigan's football stadium.
MHacks ran from Friday night to Sunday morning at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor while the Wolverines were on the road. The team of Zachary Lawrence, Joshua Drubin and Andres Toro that made GreenCan came by bus from the University of Maryland.
Hearst Automotive, Google, Facebook, Amazon and Twitter sponsored the student-run event, which drew more than 1,200 people from roughly 100 schools.
The definition of "hacking" for some refers to gaining unauthorized access to files or systems. Those taking part in MHacks are tasked with making, not taking. Many competitors were creating websites, mobile applications and the like for the event.

State House District 45 candidate Lt. Col. Courtney Rogers claimed she got a scary call after opponent Rep. Debra Maggart sent out her personal home phone number in a campaign email.
"I'm a little amazed that someone who wants to run for office and wants to work for the people would have a problem with the people being able to get in contact with her," Maggart said.
It all started when Maggart sent out an email titled, "Why is Courtney Rogers lying to you," defending her stance on gun rights and ending with a phone number for Rogers. Rogers claimed the number in the email was an unlisted home number.
According to a Goodlettsville police report, someone left a message on Rogers' answering machine claiming the devil is going to get her and her family for running a dirty campaign.
In a press release, Rogers demanded an apology from Maggart.
"That's the phone number my opponent provided on all the campaign documents that were filed with the state of Tennessee," Maggart replied. "That's open record, and she put that down as the contact for her campaign."
Rogers said that's true, but she only used the number when her campaign started up and it was never on her campaign literature. Rogers released a statement reading, "Sending out emails to hundreds of people asking them to call my unlisted home telephone number to complain about my supposed lying about her is over the line."
"I am delighted for people to have my phone number," Maggart said. "I put my cell phone number on everything that I send out, and I love it when my constituents call me. She might want to think it through before she gets upset with people calling her on that number."

|Franklin Morales spotted the Giants four runs in the top of the first inning Monday, but rather than say die, the Rockies instead stormed back for eight runs in the final four innings, including a walk-off single from Charlie Blackmon to cap off a 10-9 comeback victory at Coors Field.More» Blackmon sends the Rockies home as winners
|When a storm first forced the Giants and Rockies to suspend play in the bottom of the sixth May 22, Colorado was sitting pretty at 26-21 -- just three games behind the National League West-leading Giants. On Monday when the game resumed, the Rockies couldn't regain their May mojo, falling to the Giants, 4-2.More» Arenado crosses the plate on double-play ball
|After setting down the first eight batters to face him in his last outing against the Rockies on Thursday, Yusmeiro Petit had retired 46 straight batters to set a Major League record. They'll be counting on another effective outing from the 29-year-old Tuesday at Coors Field when he opposes Colorado's Jordan Lyles.More» Lyles fans five over six innings pitched
|The Rockies recalled left-hander Yohan Flande, first baseman Ben Paulsen and infielder Rafael Ynoa on Monday from Triple-A Colorado Springs. All three players were available for both the suspended game and the regularly scheduled contest, which was good news considering what had to happen when play resumed.More» Ynoa racks up three hits, RBI in debut
|It's safe to say left-hander Boone Logan's first season hasn't been anywhere close to what the Rockies had in mind when they signed him to a three-year, $16.5 million contract this past winter. And on Monday, it officially came to an end.More»Hot Stove on Rockies adding Logan to bullpen
|When right-hander Chad Bettis was scratched from his scheduled start with Triple-A Colorado Springs on Monday, most assumed he was on his way to join the Rockies on the day rosters expanded. As it turns out, Bettis' unavailability was injury-related.More» Bettis pitches 2 1/3 scoreless innings
|Rockies manager Walt Weiss challenged Justin Morneau getting caught stealing at second base knowing no lead is safe at Coors Field. As it turns out, he'd be correct but not in his belief that the play on the field should be overturned.More» Rockies challenge out call, stands in 8th
|The Rockies fell in their series finale with the D-backs, 6-2, on Sunday at Chase Field, losing their third straight series against Arizona.More» Blackmon hits his 17th home run
|The Rockies' coming series with the Giants will eschew a normal three- or four-game schedule and will instead last about three and a half games thanks to a suspended game earlier in the year.More» Weiss on series win, bullpen's performance
|Thanks to a gem from starter Tyler Matzek and solid relief work, the Rockies came out on the winning side of a pitchers' duel on Saturday night at Chase Field, taking the second game of their series with the D-backs, 2-0.More» Matzek pitches seven scoreless innings
|Reliever Tommy Kahnle took a step toward returning to the Rockies' bullpen, throwing a live batting-practice session on Saturday before the game against the D-backs.More» Kahnle fans Johnson in big league debut
|Rockies manager Walt Weiss said he wants to take some pressure off Rex Brothers, but it's especially tough because of Brothers' role in the bullpen.More» Brothers gets Peralta with bases loaded

|With the abundance of injuries to pitchers, some teams are being cautious and limiting the innings their young pitchers throw. But there have been no plans to limit rookie starter Tyler Matzek entering the last month of the season.More» Matzek fans seven, holds Giants to two runs
|Rockies Minor League pitcher Tyler Anderson was named the Texas League's Pitcher of the Year on Thursday. Anderson, the Rockies' No. 12 prospect, finished his season with Double-A Tulsa with a 6-4 record, a 2.08 ERA and 100 strikeouts in 112 1/3 innings pitched.More» Tyler Anderson, LHP, Rockies
|Another game at pitcher-friendly AT&T Park for the Rockies, another rough game in the batter's box for their injury-depleted lineup.

Smoke and Mirrors. Photography
Smoke and mirrors is a metaphor for a deceptive, fraudulent or insubstantial explanation or description. The source of the name is based on magicians' illusions, where magicians make objects appear or disappear by extending or retracting mirrors amid a distracting burst of smoke. The expression may have a connotation of virtuosity or cleverness in carrying out such a deception.

Something To Think About
Last Saturday's terrorist attack on innocent men, women and children in a Nairobi shopping mall claimed at least 67 lives, at last report. Tragic as that is, many many more will spend the rest of their lives trying to cope with the images of the carnage they survived.
Among the fatal victims were at least two Canadians, one of whom was Annemarie Desloges, 29 years old and an employee of Citizenship and Immigration Canada. I extend my condolences to her family members, dear friends and colleagues.
I, like most Canadians, take so much for granted and in particular the peaceful nation in which we live. It took this awful tragedy for me to really comprehend just how dangerous it can be to take part in the foreign service of Canadians. To all of you who do, I express my sincere gratitude.

Three Beloit police officers should head back to work soon after shooting and killing a wanted man. Rock County investigators believe if police didn't use deadly force, one or more innocent people could've been hurt.
It's been almost 30 years since Beloit last saw an officer-involved shooting that ended in a death. This hasn't been an easy last three weeks for the police department.
"It's always hard when an investigation is being run by an agency that's not our own, that we are simply waiting for that agency to finish their investigation so we can move forward." -says Beloit Police Department Detective Bureau Captain Dan Risse.
Wisconsin's Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation has handled the case since June 11th. Investigators say three cops pulled Darrius Lowery-Baptiste over that evening; Sergeant Dan Tilley and officers Brian Miller and Seth Hendricks. They wanted to arrest him for an outstanding warrant and to ask him some questions about a separate case. According to officers, Baptiste wouldn't cooperate and tried to drive away. They say he steered his car in Sergeant Tilley's direction. Police feared for the sergeant's safety, as well as other citizens in the downtown area. That's why they shot Baptiste. Investigators believe Baptiste's actions resulted in his death.
"We're obviously pleased with the decision and we're eagerly anticipating getting the officers back to work." -Captain Risse says.
The three officers are set to return, but not yet.
"There's a process they need to go through.. there will be some firearms training needed to get them back to work as well as some medical evaluations, so we're kind of on other people's calendars; when can we get into the range, when can we get in to see the physicians." -Captain Risse adds.
Beloit police say they'll have more information once they get reports back from state investigators.
Earlier we reported...
The Wisconsin District Attorney's Office closes its investigation into an officer involved deadly shooting in Beloit last month.
Darrius Lowery Baptiste, 23 was killed after police say he accelerated his vehicle at a Beloit Police Officer. Sergeant Dan Tilley, Officer Brian Miller and Officer Seth Hendricks pulled Baptiste over near the intersection of East Grand Avenue and State Street on June 11th. Police say Baptiste was wanted for questioning related to a recent shooing in Beloit. The District Attorney's Office says when officers approached his car, Baptiste wouldn't get out and tried running over Sergeant Tilley. That's when the officers fired shots at Baptiste and killed him.
District Attorney David O'Leary says Baptiste was shot and killed by officers because of his own actions and because he threatened Sergeant Tilley's life. O'Leary says the use of force by the officers was both legal and appropriate.

A Knock on the Head
Posted 2 years ago
I landed in Denver on August 31st. On Sept. 9th while putting things away in the kitchen I slipped on some water from the open dishwasher, hit the corner of a wall on my temple and suffered a major concussion, days of vomiting and emergency room visits followed. It wasn't my first, in fact I've had a few concussions, but none have taken me on this road before.
I had had a traumatic brain injury.
I was a designer in my former life, now it was time to reinvent myself.

Our 2014- 2015 season is "A Celebration of Women"
in honor of Stratton founders Helen Stratton and Fay Crocker
A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen
Considered the most popularly performed play in the entire world, this literary classic comes to Stratton for the first time! A Doll's House tells the story of one married young woman's struggle to not only save her family from an unscrupulous blackmailer, but discover her own sense of worth and identity, outside of the protected "doll's life" of her husband and family.
Directed by Rob Hawkins
September 26, 27, 28 and October 3, 4, 5
Fridays & Saturdays - 8 PM / Sundays 2 PM
tickets: $15
A Murder is Announced by Agatha Christie
The 20th century's most popular writer brings her personal favorite character to life in this adaption of the novel. When a murder is announced in the tiny English village of Chipping Cleghorn, most people assume it's simply an excuse for a party. But this party turns deadly when the crasher turns up dead! It's up to kindly innocent spinster Jane Marple to solve the most baffling case of her career.
Directed by John Williams
December 5, 6, 7 and 12, 13, 14
Fridays & Saturdays - 8 PM / Sundays 2 PM
tickets $15
RESPECT: A Musical Journey of Women by Dr. Dorothy Marcic
From "Someone to Watch Over Me" to "I Will Survive" ... From the co-dependence of "I Will Follow Him" to the anger of "These Boots are Made for Walking" ... From the cynicism of "What's Love Got to Do with it" to the strength of "Hero!" It's the journey of women, told through Top-40 music. Combining excerpts of 60 songs with women's own stories about finding dreams, lost love, relationship issues, entering the workforce, gaining independence, and more, this show is "exhilarating!" It's more than just a story worth telling, it's the story of us!
Directed by Stephen D'Ambrosio
March 13, 14, 15 and 20, 21, 22 and 27, 28, 29

Looking for love? Someone you can connect with in a meaningful way? Well... there's an app for that! Of course there is...
So listen up single folks- its called Twine and the whole point is to blur out its users faces so no one really knows what the other people look like right away. You might be thinking... what's the point? How are you supposed to know if you're interested in someone when you can't even see their face? Well... that's exactly the point. You're supposed to like someone and connect with them, based on their personality, not their looks. I know what a profound idea... but hang on let me explain.
Twine connects users with up to four matches every day based on proximity and interests. All the information is pulled from the users' Facebook profiles. And because pictures are blurred, it almost makes it easier to zero in on someone who you feel you can connect with on a mental and emotional level.
So here's how it works, after you chat for awhile on the app, you can opt to show your picture and even first name. Then if the other person agrees, information and pictures are exchanged. According to Rohit Singal. the founder of the app, users usually reveal themselves after exchanging about 60 messages.
It's no secret shallow connections don't last for long.
We've all had those experiences, where we meet someone who we are extremely attracted to right away, but once they open their mouth and start talking, all of the sudden they stop looking so good. Sometimes the more you get to know someone, the less you want to know about them. And of course the same works the other way around, sometimes the ones you aren't attracted to physically turn out to be the most interesting. Not to mention all of the sudden they start to look really good!
So if you're single and ready to mingle, I guess it wont hurt to try it out, after all what's the harm in giving meaningful online dating a shot? Let me know what you think and if it works!

By a two-to-one ruling, Michigan's Court of Appeals says a lawsuit by the ACLU can move forward.
The suit calls for "better pay" for court appointed lawyers.
Recent studies have found the system to be in-adequate and not fair to those who can't afford an attorney
The original lawsuit was filed six years ago, but as our Nick Perreault found-out, some say it's been a problem much longer than that
You're innocent until proven guilty and you have a right to a fair trial, but Attorney Tim Havis says, the court system has been anything but fair.
"If you're court appointed you have to go back to the court repeatedly to ask for additional witnesses, ask for money to actually have an expert witness, ask for money for forensic analysis and stuff like that," said Attorney Tim Havis.
Havis, a court appointed attorney has actually had to turn down cases over his 12 year career, not because he didn't want to represent the clients, but because he couldn't afford to properly support them.
"In the court appointed system, the funding just isn't there for me to at least make it realistic, that I can actually do the work, that I think I should be able to do when I represent someone," Havis said.
Havis says in some cases that results in clients getting in-experienced representation in the courtroom.
Ingham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings III even admits the current system has it's flaws.
"The prosecutor's association has long been under the belief that we need a reform to the public defenders system, but the problem is what should that reform look like," said Ingham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings III.
Both Dunnings and Havis think state legislation is needed to make a change.Havis says he'd like to see a state wide fund set up that he says would level the playing field
"So that if your in Montcalm county as a court appointed system, you can be assured that your court appointed attorney up there is being paid on equal or the same as here in Livingston County or wherever," Havis said.
He's unsure if or when that would happen, but says if the system doesn't change soon, it could be put attorney's across the state in a tough spot.
"If as an attorney, I feel what I'm getting paid is not enough, then I have to make an ethical decision not to take clients and I think that would be a sad thing to have happen, not just to me but to other attorney's out there">
Governor Snyder created the Indigent Defense Advisory Commission two years ago to review the current system.
The commission has recommended that the state create a permanent defense group.

As the city league boys' tournament approaches, the hype around a potential rematch between Brighton and New Mission rises. However, the coach of the top-seeded Tigers sees the tournament as just another opportunity for his players to improve.
"The ultimate goal is a state title and we've got to win each game that we play," Brighton coach Hugh Coleman said. "I know other people might make a big deal out of it [but] to myself and [New Mission coach Cory McCarthy] it's another game."

SeaWorld Orlando's new TurtleTrek is a first-of-its-kind 3D 360 degree dome theater that gives guests up-close encounters with manatees and sea turtles.
Guests first visit two massive naturalistic habitats, home to gentle manatees and gliding sea turtles, learning what makes each species so precious and then enter the domed theater. Once inside the dome, guests are surrounded by a hyper-realistic, 3D 360 degree film that takes them on the amazing life journey of a special sea turtle named Nyah. The experience is all around guests and even above them – not just in front of them or only on one screen. It's this all-new and immersive way of showcasing a sea turtle's epic adventure that is the heart of TurtleTrek. And for the first time, SeaWorld guests are given a turtle's eye view of the ocean's wonders.
