NORMAN — "Working people have built this country. They built this state, and we're gonna honor those people today," State Chair of the Democratic Party Wallace Collins said at the Cleveland County Democratic Party Labor Day Celebration on Labor Day evening.
Democratic party members and party candidates gathered to enjoy food and learn about party candidates while socializing.
The annual celebration, hosted this year at the J.D. McCarty Center, featured speakers such as labor commissioner candidate Mike Workman, Oklahoma gubernatorial candidate RJ Harris and state school superintendent candidate Jack Herron.
Cathy Cummings, candidate for lieutenant governor, served as keynote speaker. Cummings encouraged Democratic party members to change the image of the party by getting caught doing good deeds, being proud Democrats and utilizing technology such as Facebook and Twitter to share those moments with others.
"I ran as a Democrat so I could stand up for people who cannot stand up for themselves," Cummings said. "Show that we are part of the solution."
A live auction, Labors of Love for our Democratic Party, kept the event fast-paced as attendees bid on items including a professional photo session with photographer Julian Palmer, a cooking class with Lux Bhakta and 10 pounds of tomatoes from Osprey Acres, to name a few.
Many event attendees said they come to the celebration every year just to be with other party members and discuss important party issues.
"There are a lot of conservatives who don't want to pay taxes, and that's too bad because we're cutting our future short and not putting money into education," Norman resident Lois Hilbert said. "I feel very strongly that we should be paying for health care and the education of our children."
All party members agreed that if they would come together as a coalition, the party could win back key state and local offices.
"People are beginning to buy back into the Democratic brand," said Collins, a former state representative. "We have made progress, and there is reason to look forward to 2014."
The Oklahoma Democratic party will begin its Blue Tour, a visit to 14 Oklahoma cities to energize the counties and encourage interaction between the people and the party, today in Enid.

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
Chris Bridges, 89, died on her birthday, Jan. 15, 2013 after a short illness. She was in the Hospice Home in North Carolina with family and prayers surrounding her. She had a wonderful birthday in Heaven with our Heavenly Father and her husband, Paul.
Chris was the daughter of the late Alonzo J. Morris and Maude Evans Morris of Princeton. Her sister, Joyce Hubbell of Virginia also preceded her in death.
She was born in 1924 in Gary, WV. The day after graduating from Princeton High School she left for Washington, DC where she worked for the FBI for over a year. After returning to Princeton, she worked for a short time at G.C. Murphy Company where she met her husband, Paul. They eloped and were married in Pearisburg in July of 1947. Chris worked for Dr. Goodall until Cindy was born two years later. They lived in Montgomery for a short time where Paulette was born in 1955. Chris and her family lived in Richmond, Va. for 3 years then returned "home" to West Virginia where they lived until Paul died in December of 2009. Chris was always a stay-at-home mother until age 48. She enrolled in school and chose nursing as a career. She graduated in the top five percent of her class and worked for the Mercer County Health Department for a short time and then Princeton Community Hospital until she retired at age 65. Both Paul and Christine were Charter Members of the Maranatha Baptist Church where they were both involved in numerous church activities.
Chris leaves behind two daughters, Cindy and Paulette. Cindy from Timberlake, N.C. was married to Mike Sparks and had two children, PJ and Michael. PJ Minnich gave her first great-grandchild, Will who is now 15. Michael Sparks and wife Greta gave her another great-grandchild, Conner who is three-years-old. Paulette is married to Benny Ayers now living in Myrtle Beach, S.C. They gave her two granddaughters, Ashley and Amy. Ashley Grover and her husband Brian then gave Chris her first great-granddaughter, Abigail, now seven, and then Annabeth, now six, and soon to be joined by another great-grandson, Levi Dove in February. Paulette's second daughter is Amy Christine, named after her grandmother, Chris. Gladys Meadows of Princeton is her only surviving sister.
Funeral services will be conducted at 11 a.m., Monday, Jan. 21, 2013 at the George W. Seaver Chapel of Seaver Funeral Home in Princeton with the Rev. Daniel Gunnoe officiating. Burial will follow at Oakwood Park Cemetery in Princeton. Family and friends will serve as pallbearers. Friends may call at the funeral home from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. today (Sunday), Jan. 20, 2013. The family will also receive friends at the residence of Mary Jo Bridges, 103 Pikeview Drive in Princeton after the viewing on Sunday and after the church luncheon on Monday.
Online condolences may be sent by visiting www.seaverfuneralservice.com
Seaver Funeral Home in Princeton is serving the Bridges family.

When Evan Cooper and his wife welcomed their daughter Molly into the world, she was just 29-weeks-old and weighed a scant 2 pounds, 4 ounces. In the not too distant past, her chances for survival would have been slim. But although their daughter spent more than two months in Yale's Newborn Intensive Care Unit, this East Lyme couple was able to bring Molly home.
She was still so tiny, Cooper said, that they had to pack blankets around her in the car seat so she wouldn't fall out. Yet today, Molly is a thriving four-and-a-half year old and the family credits the research done by March of Dimes for that.
Inspired by friends who, for the past five years, have held an annual dinner dance benefit for the March of Dimes that routinely raises $20,000 for the charity, last year the Cooper family decided to hold a kid-friendly skating event at the rink at Connecticut College.
"We only had three weeks to plan last year," Cooper said. Even so, last year's event raised $5,000 from people who attended and an additional $6,000 from people who donated to the cause. Cooper is optimistic they'll exceed that amount with the event they have planned for February 9 at Connecticut College's Dayton Arena.
The event is a natural fit for the couple, both of whom are Connecticut College graduates. Evan Cooper grew up playing hockey, worked at the rink as a student, skates at the rink as an adult, and also coaches kids' ice skating in Waterford. Thanks to his relationship with the college's rink manager and the school's athletic director, Cooper was able to convince the college to donate the use of the rink to the cause.
Cooper has also managed to rustle up some pretty great raffle prizes this year too, including a lithograph of the New York Giants, tickets to a Connecticut Whale Ice Hockey game and Connecticut Tigers Baseball game, a private tour of the Bronx Zoo, a signed hat from National Geographic's Deadliest Catch, and gift certificates to local restaurants and businesses.
This year's event will also feature a figure skating demonstration by Ainsely McGill of Old Lyme. McGill, 16, is a U.S. National Silver Medalist, three-time U.S. National Qualifier and three-time New England Regional Medalist who skates in Simsbury CT with coaches Vladimir and Elena Petrenko.
"This year, we've had more time to plan," said Cooper. "Last year we had maybe around 100 [people attending]. This year we'd like to double it, at least—the rink holds 200 to 300."
"The interesting thing is one of my mentors at work had a 'premie' before Molly was born. I didn't get it when he said 'My kid might be dying,'" said Cooper, adding that their friends whose fundraiser initially inspired them did, sadly, did lose twins who were born prematurely. "We weren't as committed as we should have been. Before that, we did a lot with cancer, because my mom had ovarian cancer. Once we had Molly, that shifted it."
Today, the Coopers are intent on raising funds for the March of Dimes to give other families the same opportunity to experience the small miracle that, in their case, turned out to be Molly.
Here Are The Details
Ice Skate for Babies: A family night of skating and raffles to benefit the March of Dimes on Saturday, February 9, 2013 6:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. at Connecticut College – Dayton Arena, 270 Mohegan Ave, New London. CT.
Cost: $10 per adult/$5 per child. Rental skates available for $5.
All of the proceeds will benefit the March of Dimes. If you're unable to attend the event, you'll find other ways to make a contribution if you follow the link above.

My boyfriend just told me today, we should visit Tequila on our planned trip to PV.
We add to calendar a visit to Guadalajara since it is one of my favorite mexican cities, but have never been in Tequila. Has any of you been there? Would you recommend it?
Tequila Visit, Jalisco
My boyfriend just told me today, we should visit Tequila on our planned trip to PV.

Hi Sandra,
Tequila is one of the Pueblos Magicos (Magical villages) of Mexico. Since 2001 Mexico Tourism Board started to develop tourism in small beautiful towns with a lot of culture and heritage.
Tequila is wonderful, obviously as this is a small town there is not so many things to do (one day visit is enough) so what I highly recommend you is to take the train drive to Tequila from Guadalajara. You will find two companies (Tequila Express and Jose Cuervo Express) but the only one that will bring you to lovely town of Tequila is the Jose Cuervo one. It cost about $110 per person, is not cheap, but I can assure you that the trip worth it! On Fridays, they also do it by night - I did the day journey last year and everything was perfect!
The journey starts at the old train station (only few minutes from the town center of Guadalajara) and take you through the great scenery of Jalisco - the Paisaje Agavero (Agave Landscape) is listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Arriving at Tequila, they will bring you to "La Rojeña" Tequila factory where they will introduce you with the process of the tequila then you will visit all this lovely hacienda. After that, they bring you to the shop where you will find many different tequilas and other products. You then have a little time to discover and eat in the town (the Tequila Museum is worth visiting it) before you meet your group for a tequila testing and Mexican folkloric ballet show. You then go back to the train and return to Guadalajara.
Again, I was really amazed by the service and felt very happy with everything I've seen and done during this amazing journey, so I highly recommend you to do it!
I hope that helps!

Hello Laurent,
Oh my god you made it sound so perfect i wanna be there already!
I will make sure not to miss this visit and i will search right away the companies you're telling me.
Thank you very much for taking the time to answer me, you've been very very helpful!!
Report Abuse
Your very welcome Sarah, I'm glad to see that you liked my description, it was so great that I try to spread the word about this!
If ever you cannot book the ticket through their website (as it happened to me) you will need to go to one of the two offices situated inside the "Hotel Hilton Guadalajara" or "Hotel Camino Real" in Guadalajara.
Hope you will live the same experience as I did!

Sandra, How long is your time in Puerto Vallarta?
Guadalajara is quite a distance. Are you going by round trip bus? Or you're going to rent a car and drive?
Report Abuse
Dear suze, i'm gonna be there for 10 days. I'm going by round trip bus... I'm still organizing everything so i can visit Tequila and stay in Guadalajara for a couple days.
Laurent, you've been very helpful, i'll take note of this and will tell you later how was my experience.
Report Abuse
Thanks for answering, Sandra. For me with only 10 precious days, I'd stay in Puerto Vallarta, but that's just me.
Report Abuse
That would be great! Looking forward to hearing more about your experience, then!
Suze, it really depends on what you are looking for, in my opinion 10 days lying down at the beach is really too long! I prefer discover small towns, visit museums and understand the culture of the place I am visiting (Guadalajara is great for that!), rather than stay at a big resort and relax! But everyone is different
Report Abuse
Well actually PuraAventura, I rarely even go to the beach other than to watch sunset most evenings. And I have never stayed at a "big resort" so I'm not sure what you're getting at.
Just saying in my experience there is loads to see in do right in Puerto Vallarta that has nothing to do with sitting on the beach every day. If I had a month, sure I'd do some trips. But with only 10 days, for *me* I'd stick to PV.
Report Abuse
Well, I hope there is no misunderstanding here. Sandra just asked if the small town of Tequila was worth to visit, so YES it is. She seems to like visiting colonial towns - so as PV is not so big (the new 'Riviera Nayarit' and 'Nuevo Vallarta' city being beautiful but not very traditional nor cultural), I think that 10 days in PV is too much for her. That's my own opinion, I'm not looking for being rude with anyone at all!
All the best,
Report Abuse
Nuevo Vallarta is not a 'City' it's a tourist resort area. Puerto Vallarta is a real city with a bit of history. Nuevo Vallarta was built on a mangrove swamp in 1992.

Lauren, unfortunately i was not able to reach Tequila. I went to Guadalajara and visited the most touristic places, it was so hot those days!! I've been in Guadalajara before with a colder weather.. but however i enjoyed the visit even if it was quick. Thanks to you both for all your help!
Report Abuse
A big shame you missed it, but I'm very happy you enjoyed your stay! Next time you come over, keep few more days to discover Tequila and the other towns around! Let me also know (later) if you want to know more about amazing places to visit here in Mexico By the way! At Pura we also specialise in Chile, Peru, Argentina, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and much more in Latin America so do not hesitate to contact us if you require further information

Before incorporating this into my diet, my results in weight loss had begun to stabilise. My diet was great, and I worked out 4 times a week. I've now been using this product for two weeks, I find I have more energy, my weight loss has been consistent and my recovery from the gym has improved tenfold. Highly recommend!Goes Well With:Water, Skimmed Milk

One of 3 products bought for each member of the family, this one for me and Elle diet for my wife, toning up for holidays, and Recovery XS for son, swimmer training in elite programme getting back from injury and illness. Early days for us all, but initial results look promising across the board. Mixability and taste very good. Delivery excellent, tried this company because of frankly rubbish delivery from a competitor, 3 out of 4 delivers delayed, this arrived early so has my vote for next order.
Fast Results
- (30 / Jul / 2014)
I'm absolutely loving the cookies and cream flavoured Diet Whey. This is about my 4th purchase after starting a new daily workout! I have a serving in the morning with 2 thermopure tablets and one after my workout. I have had the fastest rate of weight loss of any workouts I have tried! Although it is a pretty hard workout, I have to believe that the diet whey and thermopure have added to my results. The taste is amazing and I would love to drink more of it everyday as it is so nice but just have the recommended dosages and am loving my results!
All Good :)

A very good protein shake, as stated low carb and high protein aswell as all the other nice little things in it.
You'll probably find that the texture is a bit unappealing if you are used to your smooth shakes as it can be quite lumpy/sandy.
The easiest way around this is just to use about 100ml more water than you usually would and you hardly notice.
I like this shake and it's filling, I've had the strawberry shortcake 3kg and that will last you a month if you have one in the morning and one either midday on non training days or pre/post workout on training days. I'm going for vanilla next, can't wait.
I also mix a 5g of creatine monohydrate into my shakes as I feel it needs to be in there :)Goes Well With:I've only ever had it with water. May give it a go with almond milk though.
Really good product for dieting

I really like this product. It keeps me full for a long time, has high protein and low carb. Also I really like how oats are mixed within the protein powder. I have the double chocolate flavour and it taste great even with water.Goes Well With:water, soya milk and milk
Great product
- (28 / Jul / 2014)
Great product! Tastes really good not too artificial for a diet product and mixes so well. Have used this product to make cakes and pancakes and it works really well. Very versatile product I have recommended to many friends! Such good value for money. Will be buying again and again!Goes Well With:Milk, water

Excellent product ..could really feel the effects. It's lovely with a bit of ice crushed into the shaker as well
Great product for a great price
- (28 / Jul / 2014)
Being 4st overweight and wanting a product that would both help me feel full, AND to provide the protein and nutrition I need post workout I now swear by this product. I use this in the morning for brekkie, and for an after exercise boost, it mixes well enough and tastes great (Hey if I can find cookies and cream that is a healthy option then I'm all over that like a fat kid on cake... anyway enough about my childhood..).
Been using this for about 3 months and lost half a stone so somethings working, but it is difficult how much of that is down to this product directly.
Cheers!Goes Well With:Skimmed Milk, Thermopure, cardio+weights, healthy diet!

Great taste, no guilt because low in carbs, perfect for a sweet treat and especially in morning porridge.Goes Well With:Milk
- (28 / Jul / 2014)
Great value for money,
tried both Double Choc and Cookies ans Cream and are both delicious.
Diet Whey seem to be quite bitty and can settle if not continuously mixed, but otherwise great.
Goes Well With:Milk
first time whey shake
- (24 / Jul / 2014)
Just made up my first whey shake mixed really well. I picked the latte flavour, it tastes nice just a bit too sweet. I do hope the sweetness doesn't make me want to eat other sweet things!! Is there another flavour that's maybe not as sweet?
Mixed with skimmed milk. Goes Well With:Skimmed milk and ice cubes
Great addition to a diet
- (22 / Jul / 2014)
Never lets me down, this really hits the spot. I've experimented with a few flavours and they all taste great, I've been training for about 10 years and have jumped from brand to brand but when I found this I have stayed put for a few years now. Protein percentage is excellent in comparison to others and price is great too!Goes Well With:Water and also absolutely beautiful with skimmed milk
Solid product
Never lets me down, this really hits the spot. I've experimented with a few flavours and they all taste great, wasn't sure about the apple custard one but Strawberry was delicious. I've been training for about 10 years and have jumped from brand to brand but when I found this I have stayed put for a few years now.

After only 2 weeks of using the product I can already feel the benefits, not only after exercise but also in general. Feel a lot stronger and positive and would recommend to anyone Goes Well With:Water or Milk
- (21 / Jul / 2014)
Ive been having this as a meal substitue to kick start my fitness, great for breakfast or lunch and especially nice with milk.
It does start to settle but I just shake it again each time I drink some.
I have seen a difference already and its a good snack after a workout too
Love the vanilla it tastes gorgeousGoes Well With:Water or milk as a treat

Only just started using IDW so too early to tell if it will make a difference. Mixes we'll with milk, not tried water and probably won't to be honest. I'm very happy with this and hoping it does what it says
dose what it says on the tin
- (16 / Jul / 2014)
I've only been using IDW for about two weeks and I can see gains already
and I take one in the morning and then one after my workout
it helps with not snacking on rubbish because it fills you for a long period
will defiantly be getting IDW. againGoes Well With:water and milk
- (16 / Jul / 2014)
I have used serveral protein shakes. The brand was recommended by Personal Trainer, my order can with 24 hours.
Tastes very nice and it is filling definatley would order more. Goes Well With:Mixes very well with milk but find water hard to mix

- (15 / Jul / 2014)
Not sure how effective this is as haven't been using it long. Tastes 5* with milk and ok with water. Just about mixes with milk but with water it's basically insoluble. On the plus side I've noticed considerable forearm gains trying to mix it.
- (15 / Jul / 2014)
great taste mix's well fills you up will be buying more !!
- (15 / Jul / 2014)
Arrived on schedule.very impressed with the taste and effectiveness a very filling shake .which fights hunger cravings and provides a perfect meal replacement.Goes Well With:Low fat milk
Excellent product!!
- (15 / Jul / 2014)
Bought this as it was on offer at the time and I was looking for something a bit more filling than the regular impact whey.
I mix it with about 300ml of milk for breakfast at 6.30am and with a banana it keeps me going through until lunchtime. I'm on a diet at the minute (overweight 20 something guy who's had enough of being chubby) so calorie counting is very important to me, along with getting all of the right nutrients and my 5 a day. This product provides slow releasing carbs with the oats, as well as a high content of protein per serving. I bought the banana flavpur by accident but it is actually really nice! Doesn't mix as well as the impact whey but that's the psyllium husks and oats, no amount of shaking will get rod of those but it isn't a massive issue!
will definitely be buying again, might try different flavours next time, overall an amazing product!Goes Well With:CLA, Mega Green Tea Extract, Nutri Greens and a multivitamin
fantastic product
- (15 / Jul / 2014)
I brought the cookies and cream flavour it taste amazing! I have one shake for breakfast and it keeps me full until the afternoon I have only been using this shake product a couple of weeks and already noticing a change to my shape.
Great product!
- (15 / Jul / 2014)
I was pleasantly surprised by this product! It's not the first brand I try and I need to say Myprotein is definitely the best so far. It tastes great! It doesn't have that synthetic/plastic taste as many protein product do. Highly recommend it!Goes Well With:Milk
- (15 / Jul / 2014)
Mixes well with ice cold water. Colder the better. Banana is very good... wont move from this flavour.
Not sure of the full effectiveness of the diet whey, but like to think its effective.Goes Well With:Ice cold water
double choc shake
- (15 / Jul / 2014)
I tried the shake for the first time today made with semi skimmed milk and added some ice as I detest warm shakes and two scoops of pounder makes a thin shake which takes nice but maybe a bit to sweet!
Pretty good

Impact Diet Whey - Banana flavour. Plus Creapure.
I've used these before and have come back for more. I have both in the same shake before and after my late morning w/o which gives me more energy in the gym and cuts down my lunch and afternoon snacking needs. I had put some weight on my stomach with Hurricane XS so am now trying to lose it. It worked before but not yet this time... but then it's only been ten days.
Btw I HATE MP Points - they give them but take them away before I need them for my next purchase so what's the point MP? You're just annoying.
Goes Well With:Milk
- (14 / Jul / 2014)
Tasty and seems to help recovery for sure .
Seeing real results
- (14 / Jul / 2014)
I've tried several whey powders and this mixes well and also tastes good. Although it is vanilla cookie flavour it is not too sweet. I am getting back into my smoothies and use them before and after training or as a snack and I am starting to see my body fat reduce so very pleased and think this product makes a different as it makes the smoothies nice and thick and great tasting. They do taste like a dessert :)Goes Well With:My current favourite is frozen mango, mixed frozen berries and fat free yoghurt
- (14 / Jul / 2014)
Got this in banana and it tastes absolutely unreal, great consistency too (but I do shake a lot)!
Impact Diet Whey
- (11 / Jul / 2014)
Been using this product for three weeks now and can notice the difference. Due to my early starts for work this product is perfect for replacing breakfast in order to get the correct body fuel required for your muscles. The only downside would be the bits, even after a good shank and a whisk it still has a few large bits in the shake. But overall this is a very good product and one I would recommend. Goes Well With:Have the shake with a mixture of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries in a morning.
- (11 / Jul / 2014)
Excellent product, great mixability and does not go lumpy like some brands. Vanilla cookie is a great flavour, very pleasant to drink. Great way of getting that extra protein in.
- (09 / Jul / 2014)
I thought i would try a different diet protein powder and i feel this really does work and much cheaper then my normal powder i use
Top Stuff!!
- (08 / Jul / 2014)
There have been a few reviews on here about the taste and the way this stuff doesn't mix very well and tbh I was a little sceptical. Nevertheless I gave it a go and can tell you that it mixes just fine, even in a shaker. The "bits" that people have mentioned are actually Psyllium Husks (fibre) which are obviously there for a reason and will never blend smooth no matter what you do. Even so, they are not that noticeable and don't affect the shake itself. Great product and already seeing the benefits, the double chocolate tastes spot on and the vanilla cookie is good too. Highly recommended.Goes Well With:Water, water/milk
New Buyer
- (08 / Jul / 2014)
I purchased the fat loss bundle and was happy with the value contained in the bundle, however once I tried the diet whey I was slightly disappointed with the mix ability of the product. No matter if I use milk or water and shake for 2 mins or 10 it still tastes very grainy. All the other products were great and I have no issues , I can see results already although I am training harder as well. If you could sort the issue with the whey being better at mixing I would be recommending you to all I know.
impact diet whey
- (08 / Jul / 2014)
Product spot on. tastes great. Recomend this product would defo be ordering again. Better then other products iv used. Ill be sticking with myprotein form now on.
Great product
- (08 / Jul / 2014)
I bought this in Banana. I am fussy with Shake stuff, I was rather surprised with the taste it was very nice and pleasant to take. I mix it with water as I'm not a milk person and it's lovely. It is a bit grainy and this would normally put me off bit not this it's nice. I've been using it for a week now as breakfast and lunch replacement along with eating clean and I've noticed a difference. I wanted the weight loss bundle but it was out of stock at that time, since then it's been back in stock so I bought this too getting the chocolate shake. I prefer the banana but the chocolate is nice too.
My protein delivery is great came so quickly. All round great service. Thanks
Awesome and Diverse
T25 Kiwi
- (08 / Jul / 2014)
People, I literally use this chocolate shake as my breakfast and lunch, with a work out "T25" style and fruit snax in between. I'm seeing great results. It's really diverse as the flavour goes with anything. I put the 250ml of water in a smoothie blender along with two scoops, banana and some crunchy peanut butter, that is breakfast sorted. Same for lunch but mix up the fruit. Chocolate goes with anything.
With my 25 minute work out 5 days a week and this shake, I'm loosing about 2-3 pounds a week.
Highly reccomended.
Goes Well With:Banana, peanut butter , raspberries, blueberries.
- (07 / Jul / 2014)
I tend to use this most after a gym session NOT as a meal replacement by any means but it seems to do that by itself! Fills me up and keeps me satisfied for at least 2 - 3 hours which is when I would have a meal anyway, so this is brilliant!
I have the banana flavour and double chocolate - both I would highly recommend as they taste amazing, especially the chocolate one!
I tend to mix with water and find this more than suitable for myself - Tried one this morning with skimmed milk - much thicker - milkshake like. I did enjoy it but must say I prefer mixing with water! Goes Well With:Water or skimmed milk
cookies and cream
- (05 / Jul / 2014)
Delicious been using in conjunction with a low calorie diet and meal replacement on the 5:2 diet. Lost 6 lbs in the three weeks of using and find it keeps me feeling satisfied until tea time.....
- (05 / Jul / 2014)
I recently started strength training and have been trying to increase my protein consumption because I do not eat meat or fish. I chose to buy this particular protein shake powder because I am also trying to lose body fat.
I make a shake using this powder with semi-skimmed milk and have it for breakfast. I find it delicious and think it's the best tasting protein shake I have tried thus far. I love the oat bits and look forward to having this product every morning.Goes Well With:Semi-skimmed milk.
- (04 / Jul / 2014)
I've been training for 2 weeks using this and i've lost half a stone. If you mix it with milk im full for about 3-4 hours, with water 2-3 hours great for people who snack during the day. Cookies and cream, strawberry shortcake are my favoritesGoes Well With:Water. Milk.
a must have!!
gym junkie
- (03 / Jul / 2014)
Bought the double chocolate flavour of this product and I absolutely love it! Out of all the different whey powders i've tried, this one is by far the best yet! Cannot fault this product one bit! The flavour is just perfect and surprisingly not sickly! I mainly drink it with just water rather than milk and still tastes amazing! I love the fact it has a gritty/seedy texture to it due to the psyllium husks and i'm actually left feeling reasonable full afterwards so I don't find myself raiding the cupboards post gym workout! It also goes great with your porridge oats at breakfast. Deffo buying this again and can't wait to try the other flavours.
- (03 / Jul / 2014)
Doesn't mix very well at all, full of bits. Even when blended still very difficult to get down. The taste itself is pretty good, and am sure it is a very effective protein just mix ability lets it down.
Good all round results.
- (02 / Jul / 2014)
I was supplementing 2 meals a day with the shakes, was doing them with skimmed milk and results were good.
A good tip is to make sure you shake it up properly before drinking, and I leave mine to rest then shake again to make sure.
- (02 / Jul / 2014)
Got mint chocolate, loved the flavour! Mixes we'll, tastes great, and is good if you're trying to diet.Goes Well With:Creatine monohydrate
My First Protein Purchase
- (01 / Jul / 2014)
Bought a 3KG pouch of Vanilla Cookie when this was on offer just to try it out as a once/twice a day meal replacement to aid in my weightloss.
It isnt completely smooth but thats to be expected due to the oats in it. This translates when it is blended in the blender bottle, however if you shake it well enough you never get lumps. DO NOT PUT THIS IN THE BOTTLE BEFORE THE MILK/WATER YOU ARE USING AS IT DOES STICK TO THE BOTTOM.
This product alone, or paired with a 100 calorie snack, fills me up until the next meal without me getting hungry inbetween.
Be careful if you are making a shake at home to take to work for later as the product does expand and the consistency/ texture does change over time.
I bought a Breville Blend-Active VBL062 to use to blend my shakes and this illiminates the lumps and oat bits. also great for adding fruit / ice to your smoothies to make them more interesting.
Goes Well With:Banana, Peanut butter, Almond milk, Semi skimmed milk, Blueberries, Breville Blend-Active VBL062
Amazed at the results!
- (01 / Jul / 2014)
I purchased the strawberry shortcake and the mint choc chip flavours which are lovely but both a bit sweet for my liking as they contain sweetener however, I just add a bit of water with the milk and they are fine.
After trying other diet shakes I was glad to find that I was not feeling hungry or experiencing stomach problems.
In the 3 weeks that I have been having two shakes per day I have lost 2% body fat, gained muscle mass and haven't been to the gym once!
I would recommend this product to anyone.
- (30 / Jun / 2014)
Seems to do the job of getting rid of the stubborn fat of a 40 year old. A good diet is required as well though. I have noticed a difference with this after only 5 days, would like to choose my own flavor though.

The Sabres opened their preseason schedule with a 5-4 shootout victory in Montreal on Sunday night. Among the notable developments:
*Zemgus Girgensons, who had a stellar playoff series for Rochester, picked right up where he left off with two goals.
*Trade acquisition Jamie McBain and tryout hopeful Colton Gillies also scored.
*The Sabres don't take kindly to big, clean hits. The Canadiens' Jarred Tinordi dropped Gillies early, and Buffalo's Cody McCormick earned an instigator and 10-minute miscoduct for taking exception.
Later, forward Alex Galchenyuk blasted McBain, and Patrick Kaleta jumped in. Hockeyfights.com doesn't list Galchenyuk as having ever fought before. On a faceoff after Kaleta left the box, fighter Brandon Prust cross-checked the agitator, who was called for diving.
French highlights of the game can be found here.

Shop Talk
Retailers, consumers and prices
Check Out Line: Toys R Us says more is merrier this Xmas
Check out the latest attempt by a U.S. retailer to win shoppers ahead of the key holiday shopping season.
Toys R Us is planning to open about 600 pop-up stores in malls and shopping centers around the United States this Christmas season. That is more than six times what the world's largest dedicated toy retailer opened last year. Many of those nearly 90 Toys R Us Express locations have remained open through 2010.
The company, which already operates 587 full-size Toys R Us stores, said the latest initiative should broaden its reach and win more shoppers.
"By doubling the number of Toys R Us locations nationwide, now more than ever we will be available when and where customers want to shop with us this holiday season," CEO Jerry Storch said.
Check Out Line: Flashback to … yesterday
Check out the ongoing debate about September's same-store sales results and how the numbers beat expectations.
Yesterday, we found out that September same-store sales rose 0.6 percent, surpassing a forecast for a decline of 1.1 percent, according to Thomson Reuters data. When all was said and done, 78 percent of retailers that report monthly same-store sales posted results that beat Wall Street estimates, also according to Thomson Reuters.
Check Out Line: "Bipolar" sales could signal better April
Check out this deeper look at March's same-store sales results.
Last week, retailers reported monthly sales that declined less than expected, a possible sign that shoppers may be regaining confidence to open their wallets after more than a year of recession.
On Monday, Lazard Capital Markets analyst Todd Slater offered his detailed take on the numbers, which he labeled as "bipolar" — with comp store sales more negative than expected, but earnings more positive.
Sales tax holidays to the rescue?
What's one way to get reluctant shoppers back into the stores? Give them a sales tax holiday — or two or three.
That's what the National Retail Federation is urging the government to consider as part of the economic stimulus plan being debated in Washington.
Check Out Line: Savers are shoppers, at least for now
Check out shoppers with fresh credit loosening their purse strings a bit – at least for now.
"There's no question there's some pent-up demand," as over the past three months consumers saved and paid off their credit cards bills instead of spending, said Stifel Nicolaus retail analyst Richard Jaffe.

PITTSBURG, Kan. – The Northeastern State baseball team earned a split with Pittsburg State Thursday afternoon at Al Ortolani Field.
The RiverHawks (16-14, 16-14 MIAA) scored five runs in the final inning to steal the first game 6-5, and the Gorillas (18-11, 15-10 MIAA) took the series finale 12-3.
NSU 6, Pittsburg State 5 (1st game)
Northeastern State scored five runs with two outs in the top of the final inning to come from behind and take down the Gorillas in the opening game of the series.
Pittsburg State got within one out of victory after sophomore Tyler Wilkins grounded into a double play. Sophomore David Weber (HBP), senior Chad Davidson (HBP) and senior Kegan Knight (walk) loaded the bases without registering a hit on the next three at-bats.
Senior Trent Wilkins plated Weber after being hit by a pitch following a pitching change, and that brought junior Cody Robinson to the plate.
The team leader in runs batted in this season added to his total when he hit a laser to center field on a 1-2 count. The line drive landed right at the warning track and just outside the reach of the center fielder, and the double cleared the bases and tied the game at 5-5.
Junior Kyle Singleton singled through the right side to score Robinson and give NSU its first lead of the game, and the visitors went to the bottom of the seventh with a 6-5 lead.
Senior pitcher Trevor Walch sat down all three batters he faced on groundouts to earn his fourth save of the season and wrap up the come-from-behind victory.
Robinson led the RiverHawk offense with two hits and four RBI. He also scored the game-winning run. Knight scored twice and Trent Wilkins and Singleton both drove home one.
Sophomore Kyle Shambaugh pitched the first three innings and allowed three runs on three hits. Fellow sophomore T.J. Foster (2-0) earned the win after allowing two runs on four hits in the next three innings.
Pittsburg State's leadoff batter reached base in each of the first five innings, and the Gorillas scored in five of the first six frames. They also outhit NSU 7-6.
PSU relief pitcher James Fitzgearlds allowed three runs on no hits in the seventh inning, and Cody Wren (2-3) was tagged with the loss after giving up the final two runs on two hits.

Caring Bunny Event
Penn Square Mall, Oklahoma City's leading fashion destination, announced today that it will hold a Caring Bunny™ event this holiday season on Sun., March 17, from 11 a.m. to noon. Caring Bunny is a special event dedicated to families that have children with special needs, providing a subdued environment to visit this year's Bunny Photo Experience.
The presenting sponsor for the 2013 Bunny Photo Experience is Gymboree. Serving as an associate sponsor this year is Scanimalz, a collectible plush line that brings kids a fun, safe way to enjoy what they love: toys, technology and playing games.
Caring Bunny has been developed by Simon Property Group, Inc. (NYSE:SPG), the world's leading retail real estate company, and is guided by AbilityPath.org, a national online resource hub and special needs community. Over 70 Simon® properties will host the Caring Bunny this season.
Many steps are taken to reduce sensory triggers, creating a more comforting environment for the children's magical visit with the Bunny. This environment is likely to include (specific elements or aesthetics may vary):
· Turning off in-mall music, stopping escalators located near the Bunny set, dimming the lights, and shutting down fountains for the duration of the event.
· Eliminating queue lines through the use of a numbering system whereby guests approach the set when their number is called.
· Special activities and stories geared toward the needs of the child during the 'wait' period to help the child understand what activities will occur during the visit.
This will be the third year for the Caring Bunny program at many Simon malls. "Last year, we saw families who received a Bunny photo with their child for the very first time," said Sheryl Young, CEO of AbilityPath.org. "We are fortunate to have terrific alliances with Simon and their photo operators who have worked with us to lessen potential triggers, like having the event occur during private mall hours and other slight adjustments that help provide a calmer sensory-friendly environment for all children to enjoy."
"We are thrilled to be the venue for this incredible event," said Mis Gaston, director of mall marketing at Penn Square Mall. "The Caring Bunny program brings a lot of joy to children with special needs and to see that happen at our mall is truly an honor."
Participants are encouraged to RSVP for the Caring Bunny event at Penn Square by going to www.AbilityPath.org.

In some circles zucchini is kind of a hard sell, am I right? Today's recipe will change all of that. It's a take on the classic deep-fried zucchini, but much healthier, and (almost) as addictive. We all know nothing's truly as good as deep fried. But who wants to fry at home? This version is really, really good, and so much easier -- trust me. Coat sticks of zucchini with light breadcrumbs (panko) and savory Parmesan cheese, quickly bake them to crunchy perfection, and watch them disappear!
