India's Reforms Creating Unrest
Peter is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In April Standard & Poor's downgraded India's credit rating. This was followed by Fitch in June dropping India from 'stable' to 'negative'. Both agencies gave similar reasons; rampant corruption and lack of reforms. After achieving annual GDP growth of 8.4% in 2011, the economy is likely to grow just 5.4% this year. Indian politicians, including the Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, were on the defensive on S&P's downgrade and have been quick to reject Fitch's assessment. However, it served as a rude awakening for policy makers, another drop in ratings to 'junk' could seriously damage the government's popularity and ability to finance its budget deficit.
Furthermore, with the elections scheduled for 2014, the ruling Congress Party would prefer to have strong financial numbers on the table. In what are being dubbed as the boldest economic reforms in more than two decades, the Indian government changed foreign ownership rules in a number of important industries:
- Foreign airlines to purchase up to 49% stake in local airlines,
- Foreigners can now invest up to 51% FDI in multi-brand retail stores
- Foreign investment of greater than $100 million and can open stores in cities with populations exceeding 1 million.
- They raised the FDI cap in broadcasting from 49% to 75%.
As far as the retail sector goes, the states and union territories will make their own decision on allowing FDI.
Frankly these reforms are at least six months too late, if not sooner, and should have been implemented then the Rupee began sliding against the U.S. Dollar in March. Deteriorating market conditions have now made India less attractive for foreign investors.
The once lucrative Indian airline industry is struggling. India's largest carrier by market cap, Jet Airways reported a loss of $231 million in 2011. Similarly Kingfisher and Spicejet have recorded large losses this year.
The hike in prices of aviation turbine fuel (ATF) won't help matters and has made the Indian airline sector even less attractive for foreign investment. Where the international average for ATF expenses is 20%-25% ATF of operating costs, it constitutes 45%-50% in India. Since the beginning of 2011, Kingfisher has seen the biggest drop of 80.2% and Jet Airways the smallest of 51.8%.
This turmoil, however, has not deterred Boeing (NYSE: BA) who expects to greatly expand their business in India. High fuel costs due to a weak Rupee will eventually sort themselves out and Boeing expects that India's share of the global airliner market will rise from just over 1% now to more than 4% by 2030.
However, India is the world's second most populous country with a growing middle class which makes it attractive to multi-nationals. Earlier this year, President Obama called on India to open its retail doors to foreign firms. The U.S. has done a lot of arm-twisting behind the scenes due to India's very public defiance over U.S. sanctions against Iran.
A week after the announcement on reforms, the world's leading retailer Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) announced that it will open its stores in India within two years. They had obviously avoided this market due to being unable to control the direction of the business. Now with foreign majority ownership available they will execute on plans that have been likely brewing for years. Wal-Mart is already discussing a partnership with Bharti Enterprises that operates its Easy Day retail outlets across India.
Singapore Telecom (NASDAQOTH: SGAPY.PK) and Bharti Airtel immediately announced an IPO of Bharti's tower subsidiary and reshuffled the board of directors to make SingTel's 32.3% stake in both companies explicit voting blocks. While SingTel's expansion into India has been troubled with low revenue growth to this point, this move signals their willingness to expand their infrastructure in the country. Singapore and India, at a diplomatic level, have been in talks all year on a number of strategic trade issues. India needs the capital of the largest telecom carrier in the region. Players like SingTel, Wal-Mart and Boeing making their moves immediately speaks to their influence in the policy discussions and why these particular industries were opened up versus others.
Although the government's decision to open the retail sector-- growing at 7.5% annual rate and is expected to achieve $725 billion total sales in five years-- to greater FDI might look lucrative to foreigners the reality is that it is highly unpopular. Indian opposition parties have condemned the PM's decision alleging that the move is aimed to please President Obama at the expensive of local mom-and-pop stores. A massive strike was organized by opposition BJP and Communist parties in India to protest these retail changes and the 14% diesel price hike. What followed was the closure of offices and businesses across the country at an estimated cost of $2.3 billion.
The government's ally, Trinamool Congress party, after observing the public rage, decided not to support the decision. Because of this and the states retaining regional licensing power, Wal-Mart will not get permission to operate in BJP dominated or anti-congress states. So far, just 9 out of 28 states have opted to open their retail sector to foreign investors.
Even after the reforms, are still more restrictive than in other emerging markets. In Thailand and Indonesia foreign investors are allowed 100% ownership in retail, yet Wal-Mart has not announced plans to return to Indonesia after leaving in 1999.
The WisdomTree India Earnings Fund ETF (NYSEMKT: EPI) looks like a smart play for bottom feeders. We have likely hit close to the blood-in-the-water moment for India. EPI is only 25% exposed to financials and more than 20% exposed to energy stocks, which will benefit greatly from lowering the diesel subsidy. Refining margins are thin on the best of days, and subsidies only make things worse. Alleviating that stress will free up capital up and downstream the entire energy sector.
Therefore, it is still uncertain whether the changes in policy reforms will have the government's intended impact on the economy. From the opposition that the government has faced so far, it is clear that the new policies will not be implemented across all the Indian states and union territories. But, these changes, as mild as they may be, were absolutely necessary, especially the reduction in the diesel subsidy. The government is still attempting to avoid real structural reform by inviting foreign investment to cover their inability to alter the shape of their expenditures.
Currently S&P's rating for the country is BBB-, which puts it below the debt of Spain and Italy, but those ratings are being held high for political reasons. If those ratings reflected reality a number of major U.S. and European banks would have to scramble to improve their risk profiles. Any further decline could result in a flight of capital from the country. The reforms will have some impact positively on fiscal deficit, which is 5.8% of GDP but they do not address the core problems of deficit spending and a chronic current account deficit. But the process is beginning and with a potential global recession in 2013 on the horizon, we may be close to the bottom for India as political change has to lead economic change.

The Single Parent Program at Goddard was the first of its kind in the country. Then Director of Development Doug North developed the program in response to what he saw as a pressing social concern. The program was designed to provide the higher education necessary to help single mothers get the education and skills they needed to get them off welfare. In the fall of 1986, eleven single mothers and sixteen children moved to the Greatwood Campus.

For the children at Guatemala's Hospicio San Jose de la Montaña, finding transportation is no small accomplishment.
The children are HIV-positive, and offers of assistance can be hard to come by.But with the help of Louisville Metro EMS and local volunteers, the orphanage in Santa Lucia Milpas Altas will receive one of three retired ambulances that will be driven to Guatemala next week. The vehicle will take the children to medical appointments and be used for other outings.
"It's not a trivial thing to give someone a truck with four wheels," said Dr. Neal Richmond, director of Metro EMS.
The other two ambulances also will be put to good use. One will go to Quiche, a town of about 500,000 people for use by the Bomberos, the town's firefighter and EMS service.
The other ambulance will be donated to the village of Patzun, which has a population of about 40,000 in an area that continues to recover from Hurricane Stan. Currently, one truck is available to transport patients to the hospital free of charge.
A group of volunteers, led by Dr. John Barker, a local plastic surgeon, will drive the three ambulances through Mexico into Guatemala starting Saturday.
Barker and Richmond met nearly two years ago and began talking about the possibility of donating the ambulances, all of which have more than 100,000 miles on them and can no longer be used by Metro EMS. Midas Auto Service provided free servicing to make sure the ambulances were ready for the journey.
Barker, who has been on several medical missions to other countries, said he is looking forward to delivering the trucks.
"It's just the fun of seeing something here that we're not using and something they could use so much," Barker said.
It will take Barker and seven other volunteers nearly a week to drive the trucks to Guatemala, traveling about 1,300 miles to the U.S. border and then about 1,600 miles through Mexico before reaching the Central American country.
With three ambulances making the journey, Barker figured he could coordinate taking medical supplies, clothing and other equipment to the orphanage and other locations.
"We had these big three empty ambulances, and I thought that's a shame to have empty space," Barker said.
Barker partnered with the Louisville group Supplies Over Seas to get some supplies. And St. James Episcopal Church on La Grange Road collected goods from its congregation.
Richmond said he's happy that everything has come together to provide so many needed supplies to three Guatemalan communities.
"It's really a great way to link with some community that has all the same needs as we do but very few of the resources," Richmond said. "People go to extreme lengths to get help, and we're just trying to give them a couple of tools."
Reporter Jessie Halladay can be reached at (502) 582-4081.

The small village of Trapezaki lies on the south-west coast of the Ionian island of Kefalonia. This is only around a half hour drive from the main town on the island, Argostoli. Holidays in Trapezaki will be absolutely perfect for people who are looking for a break away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, yet still wish to be able to indulge in a wide range of different activities whenever the fancy takes them. The self catering accommodation in Trapezaki may very well boast gorgeous views out over the sea and properties often come with their very own swimming pool. Whichever villa or apartment you finally set your heart on, rest assured it will come equipped with all of the latest mod-cons and that you can look forward to a perfectly relaxing time away.
People on their holidays in Trapezaki are likely to discover very early on that the vast majority of activities available in this part of Kefalonia are to be found on its lovely sandy beach. Here you can choose between safe swimming, snorkelling, wind surfing, fishing and you might even like to hire a pedalo (with this facility available on this very beach). Other activities in and around the area include cycling, coastal walks, full hiking treks and there are even golf courses, if you fancy a round or two, within a short driving distance of the village.
The settlement of Trapezaki does offer a limited number of services to its visitors, however, if you are looking to do a bigger shop, it would definitely be wise for you to head to the nearest larger village of Mousata. If proper sightseeing is more your thing, you might like to hire a car and really get out and about to explore this charming island. There are a few popular tourist attractions to catch whist you're here and these include the old fishing village of Fiskardo, Lake Mellisani, Assos Village and an interesting cave system to explore at Drogarati. The town of Argostoli is well worth spending some time in and the central square is especially popular with its good choice of cafés, shops and restaurants. There are also museums and other architecturally-interesting attractions to see here.
On your holidays in Trapezaki, you can expect to experience a typical Mediterranean climate. This means that is stays fairly mild throughout the whole year. On average, summer temperatures can reach the high-twenties or even low-thirties degrees Celsius. During the winter, daily highs will be close to the low-teens. This part of Ionia receives around 25 inches of rainfall per year.
The closest airport to your self catering accommodation in Trapezaki will be Kefalonia International (EFL) which has a good number of services to and from the UK. These are operated through the following airlines: Monarch, Easyjet, Thomas Cook Airlines and Thomson Airways. From airports such as Birmingham (BHX), London Gatwick (LGW), Newcastle (NCL), Cardiff (CWL) and Manchester (MAN).

Script error[edit]
Mr. Stradivarius has been converting various high-use templates over from template code to Lua code. However, the dependent Lua modules are not being copied with it. What's interesting is that he made his changes on on October 20, and I didn't notice the script error warnings until this weekend. So I'm not exactly sure what's causing it. It almost seems like there's module code that should be importing from Commons, and it works for awhile and then stops. I tried importing the supporting modules from Wikipedia, but there is an error in Module:Category handler that is preventing the Lua code from working. I rolled back the change to Template: Ombox for now, and that fixed one problem I was having, but there are still script errors appearing because of the Module:Category handler problem. Does anyone know who to follow up with on this? -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 04:18, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- I had a problem with this script error too, that started this weekend. I hope I didn't import anything that caused this. - Sidelight12 Talk 13:04, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Czech listed as "undefined"[edit]
How would the link display be changed to the proper name, instead of "undefined", under "Languages"? The source shows, in the similar way to the other languages listed. - Sidelight12 Talk 15:04, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
History split[edit]
How can I split the history between two pages, in case of a content split or other reason? - Sidelight12 Talk 21:04, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
- I don't think you can, not directly. I have generally left the version with the most edits as the page itself, i.e., the version being kept with its history, then I copy the other material as wikitext to the other page, with a reference to the source page(s) in the edit copying that material or at least on the new Talk page. That satisfies the license for attribution, and someone looking for that history can readily find and understand it. There should be references both ways, so future generations can fimd the source for all text, and what happened to old removed text, or at least a version of it.
- However, if you really want to confuse the hell out of future generations, transwiki the page elsewhere, then reimport it to a new name. That would accomplish what you have asked for. I don't think the gain is worth the effort, but I suppose it's possible at some point, somewhere, some very complicated situation. I haven't seen anything like that. It would do "interesting" things to the contribution history of those who edited the page. —Abd (discuss • contribs) 21:19, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
- Oh ok, thanks. So making a copy of it would be part of it, then hide the revisions. I can't import to another wiki, since I am not a custodian anywhere else, to be able to import it back (to make a copy). - Sidelight12 Talk 21:26, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
- You would not "hide" any revisions, I don't think. That would conceal context for the original editing. You would, in the single wiki version, revert to a revision or leave it as the latest, whichever, and you would copy text to the other version, referring to a permanent link or links where you got the text. Then people, if they want to see the history, can look at the other page, the one with the history.
- Oh ok, thanks. So making a copy of it would be part of it, then hide the revisions. I can't import to another wiki, since I am not a custodian anywhere else, to be able to import it back (to make a copy). - Sidelight12 Talk 21:26, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
- If you used transwiki to do this, you would simply revert those two pages to different versions. I do not recommend directly using admin tools for content control, absent consensus. Especially don't hide revisions, it puts people off their feed, it makes the wiki not transparent, some will think there is some monkey business going on. That is, there should be strong reason.

Email privacy[edit]
On email transactions, there is a privacy concern, that it shows the email addresses (at least to the receiver), rather than having the Wikiproject relay it with username and the Wikiproject as the sender or receiver. I believe other websites use that route. Unless the mail server is run through a commonly used internet mailbox, that uses a name that is not the user's. My preferences say, "E-mail address is optional, but it enables others to contact you through your user or user_talk page without needing to reveal your identity. You can also choose to let others contact you by email through a link on your user or talk page. Your email address is not revealed when other users contact you." - Sidelight12 Talk 07:01, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
- The wording is correct, but perhaps misleading. It indicates that if you turn on email, users can contact you by email without revealing your email address to them. When someone sends email, that page states, 'The email address you entered in your user preferences will appear as the "From" address of the email, so the recipient will be able to reply directly to you.' The recipient would only reveal private information if they respond directly. Users who prefer not to reveal their private address should not respond by email.
- I just checked, and Wikipedia has the same settings and the same result. They have a better banner that highlights that the sender's address is revealed, but it's the same effect. I don't have any reason to believe there's anything we can change in terms of settings that would alter this behavior, but feel free to take a look at the MediaWiki documentation and let us know if there's a setting that covers this. Otherwise, it would be a matter of finding the appropriate forum and proposing the change, or submitting it as a bug. It may also have already been discussed and rejected. The problem with allowing anonymous email is that the wiki becomes responsible for it. By sending email as the sender, you remain responsible for your own activities.
- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 13:44, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
- If you wish to respond without revealing your identity, you can use any free email service, it is trivial to set one up, and respond to the email you receive using that other address. or just set up that address as your wiki email. The way the software is set up is excellent, for the reason Dave has explained. There is more. The email is quite private, checkusers can only see that an email was sent, and when, but not to whom it was sent or any other content. So if someone sends an abusive email, and denies sending it, the recipient can provide the headers to a checkuser and the checkuser can verify a mail was sent at that exact time. In my opinion, a secure checksum on the mail should also be kept, to avoid a recipient modifying an email to make it seem abusive. On that point, I don't know if anything is done. Basically, don't send an email to someone you are not willing to trust with you email address -- which could be an anonymous googlemail account -- or who might complain about the email. --Abd (discuss • contribs) 15:52, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Credit score myths that need to die
Want to get a loan? These persistent misconceptions can hurt your chances. Here are the facts.
The experts on Discovery Channel's "Mythbusters" have tackled the 5-second rule for dropped food and whether the moon landing was faked. It's high time they took on credit scoring.
Lenders have used these three-digit numbers for decades. The companies that create scores are increasingly open about how they work. Yet myths and misunderstandings about credit scoring still abound.
Myth No. 1: You don't need to worry about your credit scores. This myth often stems from one of two misconceptions: that handling your finances responsibly will result in good credit scores, or that credit scores are only important to lenders.
Fact: Credit scores don't measure your income, your wealth or your character. They're based on how you use credit. If you don't use credit, your scores may be poor or nonexistent -- even if you pay your bills promptly and save prodigiously.
Poor scores don't just hurt your ability to get credit. Even if you never plan to borrow money, your scores may be used to determine insurance premiums, your ability to rent an apartment and the down payment required for utilities. Choosing not to care about your scores can make your life more expensive.
Score savvy tip: Keeping good scores doesn't take a lot of work. Just charge some regular bills to a couple of credit cards and set up automatic payments to pay the balances in full each month.
Myth No. 2: You should never close a credit account. More people these days seem to understand that closing accounts can't help their scores and may hurt them. But that's led to some paranoia about shuttering accounts, to the point where I often hear from readers wondering whether they should risk closing any account.
Fact: You don't want to close accounts if you only have a few credit lines showing on your credit reports, or if you plan to be in the market soon for a major loan. Otherwise, closing one account is unlikely to have a big impact, especially if you have plenty of other accounts that remain open.
Score savvy tip: It often makes sense to keep open your highest-limit credit cards, since those have a strongly positive effect on your credit utilization ratios.
Myth No. 3: Too many credit cards are bad for your scores.
Fact: Lenders once feared people with lots of available credit would rush out and charge up a fortune, only to default. Credit score scientists have discovered, however, that people who have handled credit responsibly in the past don't tend to go ape overnight. Having many credit lines is now considered a good thing, because lenders who have reviewed your financial situation have entrusted you with these accounts.
Score savvy tip: Having plenty of credit cards may be good for your scores, but don't lose track of due dates -- one missed payment can devastate your scores. Set up account alerts and consider automatic payments so that at least the minimum balance is covered each month.
Myth No. 4: You can get your credit score for free.
Fact: While you can get a regular look at your credit reports once a year for free, there's no federal law guaranteeing you a free peek at your three-digit credit score.
If you've gotten a score for free, chances are that it was a come-on for costly credit monitoring or that the score isn't a FICO score -- the type of score most lenders use.
Score savvy tip: The free scores available at sites such as Quizzle and Credit Karma can give you a general idea of where you stand with lenders. If you plan to be in the market for a mortgage or an auto loan, you probably want a more precise idea of what interest rates you can expect. You can get your scores from MyFico.com for $20 each.
Myth No. 5: You must be in debt to have good scores.
Fact: There's no need to carry a balance on your credit cards -- having and using a couple of credit cards, and paying off the balances in full each month, will get you good scores.
Score savvy tip: If you're trying to rehabilitate bad scores, rather than just trying to hang on to good scores, having an installment loan (such as a mortgage, auto loan, personal loan or student loan) as well as credit cards on your credit reports can help you speed the process.

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

Tastes brilliant and the price is pretty cheap too. Will buy another batch of these tonight. Contributing to some serious gains for me :) ;) !
Too sweet
- (23 / Aug / 2014)
I orders the peanuts flavor's bars but I didn't feel any flavor anyway. I don't really like it and I considered it to be too sweet (at least for my taste) contain a lot of sweeteners which upset my stomach and are not gluten free.
- (05 / Apr / 2014)
Tasty stuff. I wasn't expecting much, I find a lot of protein bars to take some chewing which can be painful! (I have a slightly misaligned jaw, so vigorous chewing is not fun), but these were grand.
The chocolate chip was pretty tasty. May get the raspberry ones in future!
- (06 / Mar / 2014)
I thought I'd try it because I wanted add a few calories for my bulking stage. The oaks and whey tasted amazing highly recommend.
- (05 / Mar / 2014)
Recently ordered Chocolate chip. Have had a few bars so far. The taste hasn't been great so far, just have to get used to it. It is filling though.
- (31 / Jan / 2014)
These bars are great for people who have that time in the day where they can't squeeze a meal in. Taste great for anyone on a strict diet and the nutrition is better than most bars you will find in the stores. Goes Well With:A good diet.
- (13 / Jan / 2014)
Good product , taste fine , very filling and good for bulking. Very affordable . Ill buy this product again
Pure effectiveness for low GI
- (13 / Jan / 2014)
As multiple accredited PT in CY i come accross to several consumable products either for personal use or to suggest to my clients. This is a very good choice for supplementing a med meal! I am not a lab doctor so if the portions and ingredients are detailed such then is highly reccomended. Even though protein source is low, the sale price balance the deal.
Nice work MyP lads keep up and thanks!!Goes Well With:Coffee
- (10 / Jan / 2014)
Have tasted both these and the coconut/chocolate ones. Both nice actually but prefer the raspberry. They have a yoghurt coating but it's thin and doesn't detract from the taste. I don't like flapjacks and were half expecting these to have a similar texture/taste but they didn't. I'd recommend definitely. Fills and gap and does the job.Goes Well With:cup of tea.
One of the best tasting bars I have had
- (08 / Jan / 2014)
I tried the chocolate chip bar and it tastes really good and is extremely filling
Great flavour, filling
- (08 / Jan / 2014)
I love the chocolate flavour. It's also very filling and great as a post-workout snack.
oats and whey
- (06 / Dec / 2013)
Oats & Whey is a tasty, filling and is ideal prior to a work out.
Choc Chip Oats & Whey
- (08 / Nov / 2013)
Are these bars shrinking? Used to say 22g protein on them, now say 20.9g protein and I've just ordered more this morning and it says they are 80g in weight where-as my current ones are 88g in weight!
Other than the above these are great snack bars, certainly fill a hole in-between meals or before/after a workout. Tried Choc Chip and Raspberry and both of them taste nice, you'd think they'd be rather dry but they are far from it.
Sickly sweet
- (20 / Oct / 2013)
Alright, first of all. I'm from Denmark and I almost never eat candy and other sweet things. I've tried Choco coconut and raspberry.
My plan was to eat one of these in the morning with some BCAA on the side, as I am very short of time in the morning, but that is impossible! These bars are way too sweet! They are so sweet that it gets sickly to eat them. I'll never be able to eat a whole one of these without being sick, so I decided to take them with me to school, and even there people said that it was way too sweet for them to eat. And bear in mind, these are people eating snickers and drinking red bull and cola as a regular thing... I wanted to like these, but I simply can't!Goes Well With:Hard to say..
Great Protein Bars
- (06 / Oct / 2013)
Oats & Whey protein bars are my favourite! Please don't change them! You can taste the fruit and they are very tasty. They are quite sweet so you are easily satisfied! The delivery service is excellent.
Good stuff
- (09 / Sep / 2013)
Been using these for a few months now to supplement my impact whey / oat shakes. Perfect pre workout or if you can't take a shake with you. Eat one of these babies about an hour before I train and my energy levels go through the roof.
Oats & Whey Bar - Chocolate Peanut
- (06 / Sep / 2013)
These Oats & Whey bars make a nice change from some of the jaw achingly chewy stuff from other companies. The flavour was not bad at all and they are really convenient if you are sat in the office or are traveling. They're really quite pleasant to eat.
I use them as snacks to get me through the day, they kill off late afternoon hunger pangs and are pretty healthy. Be aware that you will need a drink with them, tea, coffee, water, anything or you will struggle to be swallowing the last bite.Goes Well With:A drink
Healthy calories between meals
- (03 / Sep / 2013)
For those looking to add calories or have a healthy, high-protein snack between meals, look no further than Myprotein's Oats & Whey bars.
Each bar is packed with protein and oats, providing a balanced boost of good calories, either between meals, for a quick meal on the go, or to aid recovery after a workout session. They are quite dense bars, and really help kill hunger between lunch and dinner.
The Chocolate Peanut flavour is my favourite, but Chocolate Chip is nice too.
Not great but not bad either
- (28 / Aug / 2013)
None of these protein bars are the most marvellous taste experience on the planet but the Oats & Whey come up a reasonable level on the scale. You are aware far more of the oats than of chocolate but at least it doesn't have the usual synthetic taste and although it is a bit wooden it is better than most. It would be nicer if there were a few real chocolate chips in it to give a little zing. However this bar is a nice chewy satisfying meal when you're hungry after vigorous exercise and it takes away the edge that might send you hunting for less healthy snacks.
They say they are quite high in protein and so I suppose they are effective, although it is not possible for me to quantify.Goes Well With:Cup of coffee.
great for energy
- (23 / Aug / 2013)
My son is a powerlifter and uses this Oats & Whey. I tried one and now have my own stock for my work. I walk 3-4 hours a day and cover up to 10 miles carrying weighty bags. I can vouch for the effectiveness of them.
Very Nice
- (23 / Aug / 2013)
I bought these Oats & Whey for the first time when they were on offer and I loved them, I got the raspberry flavour. I think they are a bit costly for a box of 18 at full price.Goes Well With:A cup of tea!
Really nice, easy to eat, good value for money!
- (08 / Aug / 2013)
I love these bars, they are really good to eat and they taste good. Tried bars before as was put of by the texture, but these have a nice texture, easy to eat. The bars are also a very good size! Good value for money.
The way I use these is take one when I go training, then straight after I will eat one then have a shake, that way if I don't have time for a shake I will still have some protein. Throw a few on your car. Take one to work, effective way to takers protien!
Only down side is they are filling. Eat one and you won't want to eat for a while! But that's alright I can live with that.
- (05 / Aug / 2013)
These Oats & Whey bars are amazing! They're so sweet. I chop them up into mini pieces so it's like having really sweet mini flapjack bites! The only downside for me is the calories (quite high for what the bar is), as I could easily eat so many of them! They're still a good snack though.
- (26 / Jul / 2013)
Put it this way, I can't stop eating Oats & Whey. I'm half way through the box and just ordered 18 more! I am a big snacker and I much prefer something like this going in me even if the calories are a little on the high side. I use for cycling trips also where the hunger kicks in and energy is needed. Goes Well With:Hurricane XS
First timer.
- (17 / Jul / 2013)
These bars were my first bar order from my protein. I usually order the cheapest ones I could find on other sites.
These bars taste a lot better and at a reasonable price. 22g of protein for this price is amazing.
I ordered the chocolate peanut flavour and will order some more soon. I use these during the day as
a protein boost and can notice a difference and very filling.Goes Well With:Breakfast.
Sons bday
- (16 / Jul / 2013)
Bought Oats & Whey for my son's birthday as he buys them himself usually. I actually tried one and they are lovely. I did not eat it all at once, like I would a bar of chocolate, I just took a small bite throughout the day and it kept my craving for chocolate away so, I may buy myself some.
- (04 / Jul / 2013)
Nice taste (Peanut). Not too chewy. Good portion.Goes Well With:Anything
almost so good i could eat it every day!
- (24 / Jun / 2013)
Oats & Whey is a very tasty protein bar, it gives you energy for a couple of hours. It's really nice, I'm almost addicted I would say!
Oats & Whey
- (22 / May / 2013)
The Oats & Whey bars are filling and ample for a meal. They taste better than expected too.
Oats bar
- (22 / May / 2013)
The Oats & Whey bar is easy to eat and tastes quite good too.
good find
- (20 / May / 2013)
These Oats & Whey bars have been a great find. They have a fabulous texture and provide a nice change from the original protein bars.
The bars are good to eat and are a good flavour. The texture of the bars is such that they are not too heavy to chew on but are nice and oaty. I love these bars.Goes Well With:Glass of chocolate whey protein mixed with milk.
not for me
- (13 / May / 2013)
I tried the choc/peanut Oats & Whey bar. For me it was far too heavy and the chocolate wasn't the best tasting. It didn't sit well on my stomach either, which isn't ideal if I'd have eaten it pre-workout. Compared to some other protein bars I have tried, these are better, but I will stick to making my own protein bars. You can't like everything.
Chris P
- (13 / May / 2013)
I got these Oats & Whey a couple of weeks ago. I have been using them as a pre- workout snack and occasionally a breakfast alternative when I am in a rush. They (the raspberry) taste great, are not too chewy at all like some reviews say. I find these give me a real energy boost during my lifts when taken pre-workout. I definitely recommend these.Goes Well With:Training hard
Great taste & good protein boost
- (13 / May / 2013)
The Oats & Whey have a really good taste and high protein content. I like them.
Love them
- (22 / Apr / 2013)
I couldn't ask for more with these Oats & Whey bars. There's a nice amount of protein in them and they're very handy if you're on the move and have no time for a shake.Goes Well With:working out
Oats & Wha-hey
- (17 / Apr / 2013)
I munch one of these Oats & Whey before I hit the gym or play football and I feel like the energiser bunny. It's tasty, not too thick and sticky like some of the bars you can get and it's perfect for some protein / clean carbs on the go.
I bought my first box a couple of weeks back, and I will probably buy another two when this one runs out.
Ash B
- (16 / Apr / 2013)
I have been having these Oats & Whey bars for some time and only purchase the Choc Chip flavour. I have tasted a few of the others but I think I've just got used to the taste as they aren't too sweet. It's a perfect snack between meals and after a workout. You need plenty of water as they tend to dry you up. Okay the cost has increased and I tend to buy these when they are on offer or I have enough points to justify the spend. I have in the past tried other protein bars and I can't find another of comparable taste and price!Goes Well With:Water...and lots of it!!
- (15 / Apr / 2013)
I'm currently on the chocolate peanut flavoured Oats & Whey. I've had the raspberry ones too, and both are great flavours. They're deal to throw in your bag if you do a sport and don't have enough room for a shaker/water/powders. It's quite chewy and will give you a bit of jaw ache, but I think this helps you to starve off the hunger for longer after you've eaten, and it'll help you avoid eating them in succession too. They aren't as bitty or grainy as other bars I've tried.
Addictively scrumptious
- (02 / Apr / 2013)
I love these Oats & Whey bars... probably a bit too much. They certainly fill a gap, and allow that chocolate kick to be enjoyed in a less guilty way. If you're just after protein though, the carb : protein ratio is about 2:1. It's great as an afternoon or post workout boost.Goes Well With:A good cup of hot tea!
Sam Fenwick
- (04 / Jan / 2013)
"First off, taste. Real raspberry has to be one of the most sickly things i've ever eaten. Chocolate chip on the other hand is awesome! Effectiveness: based on the ingredients, (hard to tell actual effectiveness as i use other MP products) i would say it is good. The ratios are spot on for me bulking, so if thats your goal i would recommend this as a good mass gainer due to high carb aswell as protein content. As for people just wanting a high protein bar there are other MP bars that would suit the purpose better as they are simply high protein. 5 *'s for the chocolate chip 2*'s for the real raspberry"
Terry Curtis
- (07 / Aug / 2012)
"Well guys, believe me iv'e tried them all over the years. Most are like chewing a mixture of cardboard and sawdust, but having just tried the choc and peanut I have to say these are the dogs nuts. By far the best that iv''e had superb !!!!! A ++++++++++"
Shariq Zahir
- (10 / Jul / 2012)
I bought the Chocolate and Peanut ones and they are yummy! I agree with the previous reviewers that they're not particularly peanutty but very tasty nevertheless. I certainly prefer them to the MyBar High Pro bars as they've a bit more texture and less fat and the carbs provided a much need boost after training. Highly recommended.
Mark Ford
- (28 / Jun / 2012)
Just had first delivery of Choc Peanut bars. Have tried a few brands of similar product and this is by far the nicest. Worth paying a little extra for.
Stefan Pretty
- (16 / Apr / 2012)
I bought the real raspberry flavour bars and to my delight they were delicious. They help as a snack with nutritional value before gym sessions and stop you getting hungry and binging. I recently had to order chocolate chip as the real raspberry have been out of stock for some time which is frustrating as the chocolate chip is no where near as tasty.
Mike African
- (11 / Apr / 2012)
"Ordered the choc chip two days ago arrived yesterday and tried one today and the taste isn't that bad. Very chewy, soft and filling. What surprised me is the size of the box the bars came in because it was very small. I am disappointed that the 'Real Raspberry' flavour has been out of stock for quite a while as I would of liked it more but nevertheless there is always a sample of it so ill be sampling it on my next order very soon. I also recommend that you drink it down with a glass of water as the bar is very dry."
Jay Barratt
- (09 / Apr / 2012)
"I have tried numerous different bars on multiple sites over the last couple of years and often find few that get the taste/texture right - Usually they are like a solid block of protein powder, coated in a thin film of chocolate and not much fun to eat. However, the Oats & Whey is definitely among my top 3 favourites. The texture/taste is even better than most regular chocolate bars in my opinion - Definitely worth a try, you won't regret! Also checkout the MyBar Cookies - A very good product."
Ann Goodwin
- (21 / Mar / 2012)
I bought the Real Raspberry because it was half price but next time will buy the chocolate chip as the Raspberry ones are far too sweet. Apart from the taste they fill very well.
Benjamin Shields
- (28 / Feb / 2012)
Great taste and very filling. I would eat these for the flavour alone.
Danny Power
- (30 / Jan / 2012)
"I brought these bars as an emergency breakfast replacement when traveling around Europe. They are quite dense, however that is to be expected with the amount of calories crammed in to the bar. Overall..Tasty and convenient"

Clinical trials are studies, managed by government agencies, educational institutions, private not-for-profit organizations, or commercial businesses, to develop, produce, and evaluate the effectiveness of new treatments, tests, and preventive therapies for diseases.
Individuals who participate in research studies are often given the opportunity to benefit from treatments that are not currently available to the general public, but have shown promise in previous research.
Risks from participating in a clinical trial vary depending on the study. It is important to understand that not all new treatments produce the desired effect, and some may even be less effective (or less safe) than current treatments.
At any given time, there are hundreds of prostate cancer clinical trials underway. Most of these are fairly small clinical trials studying new treatments (both procedures and medicines) for prostate cancer. If these early trials find a treatment that might be effective, it is studied in larger clinical trials that typically include hundreds of men. Other studies are looking for new ways to help prevent prostate cancer, better ways to find it early, and ways to tell whether prostate cancer is likely to grow quickly or not.

Located on Perry Road, Academy for the Performing Arts opened in 2001 as a dance studio and its success has allowed it to take some risks and steadily add programs over the years.
"We just do what works and what people want," explained APA owner Hillary Parnell. "We're willing to try anything. In the fall we're adding art classes in the evening."
In 2003, it added its first competitive dance company; now the studio offers Zumba, yoga, circuit training, ballet barre and much more. In 2009, APA opened Preschool for the Arts.
The program is designed for 2- to 5-year-olds and encourages "creativity, development of fine and gross motor skills, and provides a strong foundation for future education."
"It allows some families that are more interested in art-based to give their kids that experience to try some of the different classes," said Suzy Snowdy, a teacher at Preschool for the Arts. "I think it allows them to experience different things versus just being in a classroom and playing."
In addition to the variety of program APA offers, part of the appeal is that parents say the studio is conveniently located and "mother friendly."
"They may come here and they may stop and do shopping in Apex on their way home," pointed out Peggy Corrigan, who attends exercise classes at APA.
APA serves about 2,000 people each year when all of the different parts of the business -- including a summer camp -- are factored together.
Parnell said the business hosts 20 fitness classes with more than a hundred members, and she has five dance rooms with 500 dance members.
"APA should one day be a medium business, but the preschool will be a small business," Parnell said. "The dance studio will be a small business, the fitness program a small business within it because we like to be able to offer that individual attention to every single one of our customers."
Getting the word out about APA hasn't been a problem, Parnell said, adding that she decided to take a break from the annual Apex Peak Fest because she felt like she was "inundating [people] a little bit."
"As we were at the festival, we would be passing out cards and almost every person that came to the booth or that we handed a card to said, 'Oh, I went to a summer camp already. I know who you are. We go to your fitness classes.' Or 'We're already at preschool,'" Parnell said.
"I feel very comfortable in saying that most people that live in Apex know who we are," she laughed.

The Battle for Renato's Corona
Today, we make history.
After former President Joseph Estrada's impeachment trial in 2000-2001 and the it's-almost-an-impeachment-trial for (Former) Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez last year, another impeachable official is set to be impeach.
This time, in the person of the highest official of the Judiciary Department - the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Renato Corona. This is a battle whether he will keep his corona as the country's Chief Justice or not. This is the battle for Renato's crown.
As an impeachment primer, I watched last night's Cheche Lazaro Presents: Impeachment on ABS-CBN. In that documentary, it featured the history of impeachment trial from former president Joseph Estrada up to the cases against Chief Justice Renato Corona.
Estrada was not impeached. Instead, he was forced to step down from the office. Merceditas Gutierrez resigned as Ombudsman before the trial started. And, if things go as planned, this is the first time when we will witness a full impeachment trial.
One of the things that left me a huge question mark on the Chief Justice's - and probably the whole Supreme Court's - credibility was when Maritess Vitug, author of the controversial book Shadow of Doubt: Probing the Supreme Court, divulged items about the dark, hidden parts (and proceedings) in the Supreme Court. (I seriously want a copy of that book but I can't find any here in the Laguna-Batangas area.)
After watching Cheche Lazaro's documentary last night, I know only of one thing: It's possible. Chief Justice Renato Corona may be guilty of the offense hurled against him.
From the flip-flop decisions of the Supreme Court, the seemingly alliance and special favor for Former President Gloria Arroyo, the alleged unexplained wealth, to his controversial last-minute appointment, he has a lot to explain.
I am not saying that he is guilty of the crime. There's a proper venue to prove (or disprove) that, thanks to our democracy and Constitution - the impeachment court.
Today, we make history. Today is the first day of Chief Justice Renato Corona's impeachment trial. And these are my personal opinion on the historical trial:
- I hope the Senate and the Senators will be fair enough on this trial. Not only for the filipino people. Not only for Renato corona. But for the truth to come out.
- Unlike the Estrada impeachment trial where Chief Justice Hilario Davide acted as the judge, this time, Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile will be the one. It's gonna be Manong Johnny "Gusto ko Hapy Ka" Enrile! In times like this, we really need an elder, an ancient, a veteran to help us find the truth. I just hope that he will not look like Palpatine/Darth Sidious when he got mad at the hearing for I will surely laugh my ass out ("The Dark Side of The force is strong with you!").
- During the Estrada trial, one of the most memorable line was Emma Lim's "Uminom po. Hindi po kinakain yung iced tea" to Estelito Mendoza. I am looking forward to some "light moments" during the trial.
- I am excited for Senator Lito Lapid on the impeachment trial. 'Nuff said.
- Is it just me or there is really a resemblance between Atty. Estelito Mendoza and former Associate Justice Serafin Cuevas? Is it their forehead? Their hair line? (Not only physically but intelectually. Estelito Mendoza was the brightest defender of Estrada during his trial. and, it may appear that serafin cuevas is Corona's mightiest super hero on today's trial.)
- I admire Corona's coolness earlier at the senate. Despite Prosecutor Niel Tupas' statement against him, he remain calm. And poker face.
- During the first impeachment trial in the country, Senator Enrile was there. today, he is still here. Will he still be on the third trial if ever?
- If you were aware enough back in 2001 to watch the Estrada trial, you may notice that some of the Senator Judges are still on their seat as a Senator. Or, in some cases, their sons or daughter are present. (Destiny or dynasty?)
- I learned last night that the other term for the Justices of the Supreme Court are the "Gods of Padre Faura". (If that's the case, wow! I have a God brod.)
The impeachment trial has started. And there's more to come.as what I've said on Twitter, this is just the season 1 episode 1 of the Corona Drama.
And in the event that the Chief Justice is impeached - or steps down from the office - let us all keep an eye on our President on who he will pick as the next Chief Justice. We do not want an administration who has a sole power/ influence on the Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary Departments.
After all, this is for the people of our country.
Let the truth and justice prevail on this impeachment trial.

Album Summary
- Oleg Kagan (Violin)
Notes & Reviews:
This amazing release features a concert that has not only great artistic value, but also historic significance. It was the first and arguably the last time in the history of Soviet music when three large pieces by Schnittke, Denisov, and Gubaidulina - the informal leaders of Soviet avant-garde - were performed during one night!
The year was 1982, a turning point for Soviet culture and the year that the tide started to turn, leading to the final collapse of all censorial bans a few years later. Not long before that, all three composers had been officially ostracized from the tribune of the Union of Composers, and from the pages of the Pravda newspaper. One really had to have the genius and the reputation of the great Gennady Rozhdestvensky in order to put these names together in a concert program, and to conduct it with such splendor.Notes & Reviews:

VoIP Headset Sale at Amazon
Posted by Frank Bisono Categories: Accessories, USB, Hot Deals, Peripherals
Holy smokes, Amazon has lost their minds. Amazon is currently selling the Plantronics DSP-400 headset for $40.94 with free shipping! I personally own this headset and I can vouch for the fact that it is absolutely kick-ass. If you use Skype or any VoIP service, or maybe do a little podcasting, this headset is definitely a must-have, and at these prices, it's insane not to go grab one. I remember this headset costing upwards $120+ not even a year ago. Grab 'em while they're hot!

isnt it easier to get a wireless skype phone?
What makes this headset good for podcasting is primarily the price. The noise cancelling capabilities are a great bonus as well, and since it's USB, there's no need to go out and buy a mixer or any additional gear to get started in podcasting. With this headset and Garage Band on a Mac, you would be set. If you decide podcasting is your thing and you get more serious, then you can look at more robust "professional" solutions as time goes on. Hope this helps.

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- A jury has been seated and testimony begins today in the trial of a Benton Harbor man who is charged with raping, beating and terrorizing an ex-girlfriend.
Deputies say Danny Vinson and Curtis Hankton forced their way into her place at Big Bend Apartments early on the morning of January 22nd wielding a shotgun.
She was sexually assaulted, beaten and forced into their car, and later dropped off at a hospital in Waterviliet.
Vinson is charged with 6 felonies including rape, assault and home invasion.
Hankton pled guilty to armed robbery and a gun charge last week and may turn up on the prosecution's witness list.

CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Indians did not tender Jack Hannahan a contract. Third base now belongs to Lonnie Chisenhall.
Hannahan, who played with a nagging back much of last season, is now eligible for free agency. Also, pitchers Rafael Perez and Chris Seddon were non-tendered after being designated for assignment earlier this week.
Hannahan made the Indians as a non-roster invitee in 2011 and started the past two seasons at third. He batted .244 with four homers and 29 RBIs in 105 games last season, a drop in his offensive production from 2011. He went on the disabled list in May with a calf strain and sore lower back.
The 32-year-old provided exceptional defence during his two seasons, but Chisenhall is viewed as the team's future at third.
After starting the season at Triple-A Columbus, Chisenhall batted .268 with five homers and 16 RBIs in 43 games. He broke his right forearm when he was hit by a pitch in June and was thought to be done for the year. But he came back and played in September, giving the Indians a chance to see him before they had to make a tough decision on the well-respected Hannahan.
The Indians tendered contracts to outfielder Shin-Soo Choo, closer Chris Perez, pitcher Justin Masterson, infielder Mike Aviles, catcher Lou Marson and relievers Tony Sipp and Joe Smith before Friday's midnight deadline.
Also, right-hander Corey Kluber, who is expected to compete for a starting job at spring training, underwent arthroscopic knee surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. The Indians said Kluber's knee locked up on him while he was playing with his young daughter at home in Jacksonville, Fla.
Kluber went 2-5 with a 5.14 ERA in 12 starts last season.
Earlier, the Indians and right-hander Blake Wood agreed to a $560,000, one-year contract -- a raise of $58,000 -- and avoided salary arbitration. Wood was claimed off waivers from Kansas City on Nov. 2. The 27-year-old had elbow ligament-replacement surgery in May and missed the entire season.
Cleveland has not gone to arbitration since 1991.

The Morning After Pill Is More Popular Than Ever: 5 Things Every Woman Needs to Know
Today's eye-opening statistic: One in nine women have used the morning after pill. New data has been released that the use of emergency contraception is on the rise. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 11 percent of sexually experienced women between 15 and 44 said they've used the morning after pill between 2006 and 2010. This is compared to 4 percent in 2002. Well, hello there, awareness. It's nice to see you've spread across America.
The most interesting part to me? Research shows more educated women are most likely to use it, and heck, I'm happy that's true. There's no excuse not to know what contraception options are on the market. Whether you have a college education or not, take this chance to educate yourself with these 5 need-to-know facts on emergency contraception:
1. The morning after pill can be purchased at any pharmacy: As long as you are above the age of 18, you can buy the pill with a photo ID at any local pharmacy. It will cost you anywhere from $10 to $70.
2. There can be side effects: I know many women who have experienced extreme nausea from taking the pill. Aside from nausea, throwing up, breast tenderness, dizziness, headaches, and irregular bleeding are other potential side effects.
3. You have five days: This was interesting to me, as I've always been told you have three. According to Planned Parenthood, the pill can reduce the risk of pregnancy for up to 120 hours after unprotected intercourse.
4. It works: The pill can reduce the risk of pregnancy by 89 percent when you take it within the first 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. As time goes on, the hormone becomes less effective.
5. The morning after pill doesn't protect you from STDs: Yes, the pill can prevent unwanted pregnancy, but once you've come into contact with an infected partner -- that's it. The only way to 100 percent protect yourself from STDs is to use condoms.
What do you think about the morning after pill? Do any of these facts surprise you?

mommyof5cuttiesFebruary 14, 2013 at 5:22 PMThe morning after pill only works to block ovulation... if you have already ovulated it will not prevent implantation!!! Huge misconception!!!! (No pun intended)
- --
billsfan1104February 14, 2013 at 5:25 PMJust my opinion, I do not believe the morning after pill should be given out over the counter. I am also against the pill anyway. I do not think it should be banned, but I also don't think it's a good thing either.
- --
mommyof5cuttiesFebruary 14, 2013 at 5:27 PMThe other misconception is that it is an abortion pill... it is not... it will not stop a pregnancy already destined. That's the only reason I don't have quarrels about it except many are poorly educated on it. It was hard for me to get facts. It took me calling several pharmacists to get the facts and had to reference the internet for the questions that couldn't be answered.

EmmaFromEireFebruary 14, 2013 at 5:34 PM
@mommyof5cuties some also cause the uterine lining to shed, an infinitely better choice than the ones that just block ovulation! You're right about the misconception of it being an 'abortion pill' though. It's not, and no amount of decrying it will ever make it so!

handy0318February 14, 2013 at 5:39 PM
The only way to 100 percent protect yourself from STDs is to use condoms.
No...while condoms will protect against STD's the protection is by no means 100%. Better than not using them, yes, but there is no such thing as 100% protection against either STDs or pregnancy other than abstinence.
Let's make sure we're sharing correct information, especially about a subject this important.
- -- Nonmember comment from
katFebruary 14, 2013 at 6:25 PMA common misconception among younger women/teens is that it's okay to use this as regular birth control if they're not engaging in sexual activity "often" because it's "not worth it" to be on birth control for something that doesn't happen frequently. It won't kill or anything, but many young women are unaware just how out-of-whack their hormones can be thrown.

manderspandersFebruary 14, 2013 at 6:58 PM
@Handy... you are so right! I believe both herpes and HPV can be spread regardless of using condoms... although the risk is reduced, both viruses are transmitted via skin to skin contact and condoms may not cover the entire "infected" area.
As for emergency contraception, I'd rather have women using this than getting an abortion.
- -- Facebook comment from
Tina Harden StephensFebruary 14, 2013 at 7:12 PMSo billsfan1104 what do you suggest people use for birth control? The rhythm method? I would rather see someone on the pill or using the MAP than have an unwanted child brought into the world. There are also those of us who take the pill for medical reasons that have nothing to do with BC, so I assume you would rather see that done away with as well? I just see people like you and shake my head and hope that people with common sense and a rational and educated mind are able to keep things like this available for women today.
- -- Facebook comment from
Julie WinklerFebruary 14, 2013 at 7:28 PM
glad to see the comments are not loaded with folks saying how evil the MAP is because it causes abortion...I was concerned they might be. There is a great website called ASAP Science that has a video explaing how the MAP works...it was very interesting. three cheers for the many BC options available to us today!

Thin Headband with Crystals and Pearls Style H7966 3 3
Charming This a simple, yet very pretty band. I tried on a bunch and this looked the classiest. It also is bendable and seems to be comfortable. August 9, 2014
Pricey Not happy with getting talked into buying something and not getting told the price of it but I guess that's my fault for not asking and paying better attention. I got home and seen that it was a $100 headband. I feel that is way too much money for a headband. But just my opinion! March 16, 2014
Picture doesn't do justice This picture doesn't do this product justice! We originally tried this headband because the dress I tried on was very plain. When I found my dress which had a lot of detail, this headband still looked beautiful with the dress! I'm so happy, it even matches my veil perfectly. November 30, 2011
