Recipe: The World's Healthiest Vanilla Milkshake | One Green Planet

This calls for celebration.?Let?s get down to business. Milkshake business.?When I was a wee one, the only thing keeping me from bouncing off the walls at the doctor?s office was the assurance that a drug store milkshake was just around the corner.

A woman named Annie, who is quite possibly the sweetest person alive, worked the drug store counter without fail. I was always greeted with a warm smile, a hug, and a milkshake. No wonder I love her so much.

Nowadays, flu shots are subsided by fruit cups because I no longer partake in large quantities of sugary fatty glop. But there is hope yet! Inspired by my recent?DQ-related revelation, I knew I could take on this other extremely delicious frozen indulgence.

So how did I handle it? Like any other sane person would, ?I had this milkshake for breakfast. For testing purposes, of course, because we are all more alert in the morning and I wanted to make sure I could accurately judge the awesomeness of this milkshake. See? I did this because I love you.

One thing I realized via my extreme morning alertness? This thing is big. HUGE. Like, twice the size of a McFlurry huge. I doubted my ability to finish such a thing, but it turns out I encountered no problem in the area. Weird.

But if you?re a person with a semblance of normality in you, you?ll probably be enjoying this milkshake with the help of a friend or enemy. But at only 120 calories for the entire big huge ginormous thing, you might be able to make room.

Miraculous, I know. In more ways than one.

The World?s Healthiest Vanilla Milkshake (Vegan, Low Carb, Gluten Free, Grain Free, Sugar Free, Low Calorie)

Ever wanted to slurp down a huge milkshake only to not have it go straight to your hips? Me too! And now you can with this amazing vanilla milkshake. Please forgive the infomercial type introduction. If you were to split the milkshake in half, it would only have 60 calories. A 60 calorie milkshake? Yes please!

World?s Healthiest Vanilla Milkshake

Serving size: 24 fl oz (1 recipe)

Calories: 120

Fat: 10.5 grams (healthy almond fats!)

Ingredients:

• 3 cups of unsweetened almond milk, divided (I suppose you could substitute your milk of choice, but I haven?t tried it.)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• stevia or other sweetener, to taste (I?use 1-2 packets of stevia)

Preparation:

Combine 1.5 cups of almond, vanilla extract, and sweetener (I use a glass measuring cup for this).?Pour into an ice cube tray (or other plastic container) and stick it in the freezer until it is completely firmed up and frozen.?Once the almond milk mixture is frozen, blend in a blender (go Vita!) along with the remaining 1.5 cups of almond milk until evenly blended and creamy. You can add more or less almond milk depending on how thick you like your shake. You can also add more sweetener at this point if you are so inclined.

Huge? Yes. Hard to finish? Not at all.

Enjoy!

'Nothing left' as hundreds of homes gone in Colo. fire

The tens of thousands of evacuees in the Colorado Springs, Colo., area received word Thursday that hundreds of homes have been lost to the out-of-control wildfire there.

"We now know hundreds of homes have been destroyed," Mayor Steve Bach said a morning press conference.

"There was nothing left in some areas -- burned out foundations that were smoldering. It looked like a nuclear weapon had been dropped. It's as close to hell as I could imagine," Bach said after touring the heavily damaged Mountain Shadows subdivision.

Bach said a firmer count would be available later Thursday. Sources earlier told the Colorado Springs Gazette that as many as 300 homes were destroyed in a big firestorm Tuesday, and that more homes have burned since.

Officials were able to confirm that no new homes were destroyed overnight.

Along the fire lines, crews were still battling what the city fire chief had called a "monster."

"Something blowing up at Blodgett and Woodmen," reported one firefighter over an emergency communications scanner, according to the Gazette.

Blodgett Peak is near the U.S. Air Force Academy and crews have been battling flare-ups there for several days.

Crews are getting a break in the weather, with the area no longer under a "red flag warning," which means extreme fire danger.

On Wednesday, mandatory evacuations were ordered for the 3,000 people in the town of Crystola and part of Woodland Park after more than 32,000 people had to flee on Tuesday.

Those evacuation orders came as the fire moved down a ridge toward those homes, the Gazette reported, citing communications from an emergency services scanner. "It's huge," said the voice over the scanner. "I would estimate two-three miles in width."

In another scanner exchange, a request was made for more fire crews at Blodgett Peak. "As of right now I cannot hold this hill," a voice said from the fire.

Heavy smoke made for unhealthy air in and around the city. After jumping fire lines Tuesday, the towering blaze has now burned more than 29 square miles.

By late Wednesday, winds picked up and stirred flames, forcing some crews to retreat, the Gazette reported. C-130 planes used to bomb the fire with retardant were grounded.

Colorado Springs Fire Chief Rich Brown on Wednesday called the Waldo Canyon Fire a "monster event" that is "not even remotely close to being contained." The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Tuesday night, the community of Mountain Shadows, northwest of Colorado Springs, appeared to be enveloped in an orange glow.

People were "freaking out" as they fled Tuesday night, local resident Kathleen Tillman told the Denver Post. "You are driving through smoke. It is completely pitch black, and there is tons of ash dropping on the road."

"This is a fire of epic proportions," Brown said at a briefing Tuesday night.

"It was like looking at the worst movie set you could imagine," Gov. John Hickenlooper added after flying over the fire. "It's almost surreal. You look at that, and it's like nothing I've seen before."

Colorado is battling eight large fires, its worst fire season in history.

President Barack Obama will tour the Colorado Springs area on Friday to show his support, the White House said Wednesday.

Wildfires leave Colorado tourism high and dry

The state's largest blaze is the 136-square-mile High Park Fire, which has destroyed 257 homes and killed one woman. That fire was triggered by lightning on June 9 and is nearly contained.

In Boulder, Colo., the Flagstaff Fire burned to within 1.5 miles of the southern edge of the University of Colorado campus. The 230-acre fire was 30 percent contained and "remains a threat to Boulder," Reuters quoted incident commander Rocky Opliger as saying.

Nationwide, 35 large, active wildfires were being fought. The bulk of them were in nine western states: Colorado, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, South Dakota, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona and California.

Although the fire season got off to an early start in the West, the number of fires and acreage burned nationwide is still below the 10-year average for this time of year.

The Associated Press provided this roundup of other fires across the West:

• In Utah, a 72-square-mile wildfire has destroyed at least 56 structures, mainly homes, between Fountain Green and Fairview. That number is expected to rise. One person has died in that fire. A fire near St. George started Wednesday afternoon and had grown to 2,000 acres by midnight, forcing an undetermined number of residents near New Harmony and Bumblebee to evacuate. The fire was burning three miles north of Zion National Park, prompting park officials to close a canyon area popular with hikers known as the Kolob section.
• In southeast Montana, wildfires that have torched more than 200 square miles and burned dozens of homes spread farther Wednesday, with more evacuations ordered after a blaze near Roundup jumped a fire line. The growing Dahl Fire, which has burned more than 60 homes by one estimate, forced an unknown number of residents to leave their homes near its southern flank, on top of an estimated 600 people evacuated the day before. "That's one of the most dangerous fires in the history of Montana," Gov. Brian Schweitzer said.
• In Wyoming, a wildfire in the Bridger-Teton National Forest has grown from about 2,000 acres to 12,000 acres, or nearly 19 square miles, officials said Wednesday. Authorities worked to get campers out of the area.

The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.

The Modbook Pro gets official, CEO Andreas Haas talks success in an iPad world

You'd be forgiven for assuming that the ModBook dream died with release of the first iPad. After all, the first version of the hacked notebook predated Apple's announcement by a couple of years. When the iPad finally hit in 2010, it did a lot to address the desire for a slate device running Apple software. Since then, things have largely remained silent on the Axiotron front. In fact, the last time we heard a significant peep out of the company was back in 2009. Its former CEO Andreas Haas assured us, however, that the real reason for the company's silence is a bit more complicated than the story of yet another product falling victim to the Apple steamroller.

"Axiotron itself was a great company," says Haas. "Back in 2008, I took the company public, everything was really great. There was one little thing that turned out to be a huge problem, which is that the company was largely bank-financed and 10 days after it went public, Lehman Brothers went belly-up and put the whole financial market in a tailspin. After that was mostly spent on trying to somehow restructure the company, and ultimately there was just nothing that could be done about it."

As the newly reborn Modbook Inc. teased via its Facebook page yesterday, however, the name lives on. This week marks the return of the tablet in the form of the 13.3-inch Modbook Pro, a device slated to ship early this fall. Can such a device survive in a world that's been downright flooded by tablets in the years since its predecessor's release? The company clearly feels it can -- that its new product is unique enough to set itself apart in amongst the deluge of slates, calling the new Pro, "the world's most powerful and largest-screen tablet computer." And in a space where hardware and software are relatively neutered, it's understandable how the company might be inclined to make such bold claims about the converted notebook.

Accused hoarders pack shelter with pets : News : CarolinaLive.com

Read?more: Local, News, Pet Hoarders, Accused Hoarders Pack Shelter with Pets, Animals, Cats, Dogs, Grand Strand Humane Society, Animal Shelter, Animal Control, Ill Treatment of Animals, Mistreatment of Animals

In the past week, 87 cats and dogs were taken from two homes in Myrtle Beach. The owners were charged with mistreatment of animals. Those pets are now the responsibility of the Grand Strand Humane Society.

"So we've received in a weeks time almost 100 from hoarding instances," said Sandy Brown with the Grand Strand Humane Society.

Police seized 51 cats and dogs from a home last week and?36 cats Monday from another home.

The?humane society is now overrun?with animals, housing them in hallways and conference rooms.

"We can't say no," said Brown.

And that's the problem for people considered to be hoarders, they can't say no.

An animal lover himself, Coastal Carolina Psychology Professor Dr. Tony Albiniak understands how having a few pets can easily escalate to an unmanageable situation.

"I wouldn't call them evil people or bad people or even criminal people, they have a fairly severe psychological problem which needs to be addressed," she said.

Dr. Albiniak believes hoarding animals is a form of obsessive compulsive disorder that individuals cannot control, and they really believe they have the animals' best interests at heart.

"They're not lying. They really believe they're taking adequate care of the animals," Dr. Albiniak said.

But when they can't, it becomes the humane society's problem. Brown hopes law enforcement can stop before it gets any worse.

"The laws need to be stricter and the punishments need to be more stringent," says Brown.

The humane society needs kitty litter, dog food, cat food, and newspaper. But most important, they need monetary donations to pay for medicine for the animals.
