This Glee actor lost his virginity when his father took him to a hotel lobby and introduced him to three women and told him to take his pick
You can lose your virginity via introductions in a hotel lobby? I'm in the wrong travel perks program.ReplyCancel
Darren Criss. He comes from old San Francisco money.ReplyCancel
Darren Criss – he is such an entitled douchebag, I can totally see this happening.ReplyCancel
Darren seems to fit the bill (he has wealthy, wealthy parents) but he's also a very, very sexual person (personal experience) so I doubt it could be him – he'd probably have beaten his father to the punch.
He's a hell of a good person, for the record.
I'm going to go with Chris Colfer only because his father/family is a very strict republican/conservative…probably trying to "change" him.ReplyCancel
There are straight guys on Glee?ReplyCancel
Hmmm ok..so I'll address this swiftly with accuracy so I don't need to"delete" which I've explained, however the seemingly comprehensive challenged no actual guessing, peanut gallery, may need a refresher course:
I delete if I've given multiple answers spas not to be…confusing,,and I've stopped doing that because IDGAF:)
My full answer in two parts@FSP was..overstreet but Not my forte..Glee(as in the show) as in it was successive so I assume anyone with a Grammar school background could understand it
And yes..I was kidnapped..it was surreal..I was in a place where people were kind to each other, most especially..strangers…who haven't a clue about the person they attempt..and I repeat..attempt to insult…based on mere..dunno envy, ignorance….menstruation cycles?
But alas I am back, so without further adieu Alabama and bee hive…dazzle me , all of us, really..with your sparkling personalities, mercurial wit and accurate questing skills….
We are, but your humble audience after-allReplyCancel

Jurors chosen in child abuse trial
MARTINSBURG – A jury was seated Tuesday in the trial of a Bunker Hill couple indicted nearly three years ago for allegedly abusing five children under their care.
Nathan A. Snyder, 29, of Nereid Lane, was indicted in February 2010 by a Berkeley County grand jury on 13 counts of child abuse causing bodily injury, while his wife, 43-year-old Christina A. Snyder, also of Nereid Lane, was indicted on five counts of child abuse causing bodily injury.
The defendants face charges based on allegations they burned multiple children under their care with cigarettes, choked and punched them, shot them with BB guns and bottle rockets and beat them, as well as other claims of physical abuse.
Jury selection had been scheduled to begin Monday, but was postponed until Tuesday due to inclement weather. The all-day process concluded with a jury of nine men, three women and three alternates being sworn in at 5:16 p.m. Tuesday by West Virginia 23rd Judicial Circuit Judge John Yoder.
"I want to thank everyone who was not selected for coming in for this process," Yoder said at the end of jury selection. "I want to assure you that this system is extremely important for our system of justice."
A total of 70 potential jurors were called in for jury selection Tuesday. The initial panel of 20 potential jurors was selected at 4:43 p.m.; and the final panel of 12 jurors was selected at 4:45 p.m. after attorneys in the case made their strikes. A panel of six potential alternates was whittled down to the final three alternates at 5:15 p.m., shortly before the full jury was sworn in. It was initially estimated that jury selection could have taken as long as two days in the case.
"We made pretty good progress today," Yoder told jurors.
The jury will return today to hear opening statements from the attorneys in the trial, as well as testimony from the first of the state's witnesses.
The alleged victims included a 5-year-old girl, an 8-year-old girl, a 12-year-old boy and two 14-year-old boys.
One alleged victim described living with the defendants as "a living hell" to investigators, according to court records.
Jurors will also hear testimony from another sibling, now an adult, who alleges she was sexually assaulted by Nathan Snyder when she was 13 while the family was living in Hampshire County.
The case was investigated by the Berkeley County Sheriff's Department.
The youngest victim, who was 5 at the time the defendants were arrested in 2009, told police that Nathan Snyder beat her with a metal spoon, a bat and belts, according to court records.
As part of the investigation, police also interviewed one of the 14-year-old alleged victims.
He told police that Christina Snyder burned him with cigarettes. He also said Nathan Snyder shot him and his siblings with a BB gun about three times a week while Christina Snyder laughed at them, records show.
The juvenile also alleged Nathan Snyder would shoot him with bottle rockets while Christina Snyder watched.
The victim also alleged that Nathan Snyder had thrown him to the ground and choked him until he almost passed out, records show.
The abuse detailed by the 14-year-old boy also included allegations that the couple forced him to massage their feet before they would give him anything to eat. He also told police the accused would keep food locked away, records show.
In yet another incident of alleged abuse, the boy told police that he had witnessed Nathan Snyder punch his 5-year-old stepsister, giving her a black eye.
Police reports also stated that the 14-year-old said the couple would threaten the children with knives and beat them with a riding crop. The couple also allegedly forced the 14-year-old to smoke and drink alcohol, as well as walk about a mile to a neighbor's house in the middle of the night to obtain more alcohol for them, records show.
The other alleged victims also spoke with police and corroborated the 14-year-old's statements, records show.

text: my son is 16 months and he has about ten teeth. they came very slowly and then they all started coming in. he is teething now, actually. really for me there wasn't much of a difference other than increased nursing at night. yes he has bitten me but he is doing it for a reaction, the little stinker! so from my experience, every child is different and you won't really know until you get there. i often look to other cultures for answers....would another culture still be feeding their young if they were teething? yes, but i realize this approach doesn't work with everyone. good luck!

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
ARRA Guidance for Securing D-U-N-S Number and CCR Registration
All sub-recipients that are awarded ARRA funds must secure a D-U-N-S number and register with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) site.
Q: What is a D-U-N-S number and who provides it?
A: Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) maintains a business database of information on businesses worldwide. D&B provides a D-U-N-S number, which is a unique 9-digit identification number for each physical location of a business organization. For school districts and other local education agencies this would be the physical location of the central administrative office. D-U-N-S number assignment is free for all entities required to register with the U.S. federal government for contracts or grants.
Most school districts already have a D-U-N-S number. Please check with your business office to determine if your district has a D-U-N-S number assigned, and if you do not, please register at http://www.dnb.com.
Q: What is a CCR?
A: The Central Contractor Registration (CCR) is the primary database for the federal government. CCR collects, validates, scores and disseminates data in support of agency acquisition missions. Since October 2003, it is federally mandated that any organization wishing to do business with the federal government under a Federal Acquisition Regulation-based contract must be registered with CCR before being awarded a contract. There is no cost to registrants. Additional information is available at http://www.ccr.gov.
Please check with your business office to determine whether your local education agency is registered with a CCR, and if not, access the CCR link and register. Note: You must have a D-U-N-S number before registering with CCR.
If your district needs to obtain a D-U-N-S number and/or register with CCR, please allow sufficient time to complete the process.

He's got a REALLY good point here.
Team owner James Finch hopes his #51-Phoenix Racing car remains on the track in 2013, but he'd like a little help from NASCAR to do it. Finch, who is losing driver Kurt Busch to Furniture Row Racing, wants to race for more money, and he isn't asking NASCAR and the tracks to spend more-just pay less to teams that start a race and park early. With typically five to seven Sprint Cup teams parking their cars early each week, Finch believes teams that finish in the top 35 should earn significantly more money than those that park early and finish in the back of pack. "I'm trying to get NASCAR to move some of the money up that the start-and-park guys are getting so we can race (for it) from 35th to 25th," Finch said Friday at Talladega Superspeedway. "I'm getting (as little as) $2,000 more to run 500 miles than they do to play. Move it up and if they want it, let them race or it. & That's not racing." Finch, whose team is 27th in the owner standings, so far doesn't have sponsorship for 2013. Because NASCAR is switching to a new body style for 2013, Finch said he will finish out 2012 to best use his inventory of cars. "What am I going to do with these cars?" Finch said. "When I get through (this year), I throw them away.

Mexico Travel Opportunities
Witness for Peace delegations examine the root causes of migration, societal impacts of the U.S.-backed war on drugs, and hopeful alternatives through meetings with organizations and individuals from a wide sector of Mexican society, including:
Delegations spend time anywhere from Mexico City, home to 25 million Mexicans, to remote campesino communities with populations in the hundreds. In these varied locations, delegates will experience firsthand the current conditions and as well as witness grassroots strategies of resistance to unjust U.S. policies in Mexico. Click here for a Mexico delegations brochure.Currently incidents of violence related to drug cartels center on the U.S.-Mexico border and in the northern states, not in areas where Witness for Peace delegations regularly travel. While there is always a risk associated with travel, the Witness for Peace Mexico Team takes security precautions seriously in order to keep delegates safe. You can read Witness for Peace's statement on security in Mexico here.

August 28, 2013 —
PAUPACK TOWNSHIP, PA — Lacawac Sanctuary recently received a $2,500 donation from Pennsylvania Power & Light (PPL), continuing the utility's support for Lacawac's involvement with preservation, education and research. The purpose of the gift is to pay for ongoing enhancements to Lacawac Sanctuary.
Lacawac is involved with major scientific aquatic and ecological research, which is being used for scientific studies on a national and international basis. In addition, the sanctuary provides hiking trails open to the public to enjoy nature. Previous donations by PPL underwrote the construction of a natural boreal bog boardwalk that leads to an observation deck overlooking Lake Lacawac.
"PPL is proud to partner with the Lacawac Sanctuary," said Paul Canevari, regional affairs director for PPL. "We have a long history of working to make communities stronger for generations to come and this is certainly a great example of that."

Rated 2 out of 5�by Dave this is a xmas present I can't give a proper review until after xmas; this is a present for a family member. Otherwise, the items came in a timely matter and looked to be in good condition. Sorry I can't give you more than that. October 7, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Joel Toasty warm Taking up x-country skiing this year and we're hoping the battery life will be sufficient to last for a few hours. October 7, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5�by codeman did not work I bought these socks with high hopes. Used them the day after I bought them and the heating portion absolutely did not work. Probably kept my feet from frostbite only because they are thick but the heating part did not work at all. Took them back and got my money back later that day. January 27, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5�by Jemstone24 Barely works! These socks are very difficult to get the battery in place. The heated portion gets slightly warm, does not warm up much at all. December 4, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Cleo Bulky I wear a woman's 8 1/2. I found the sock too big and bulky to wear under jeans. They were itchy and uncomfortable. November 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by write_a_reivew hopefully it will be a mild winter and I won't need them great product, great service, great delivery. The socks are light weight and are not like the cheap ones that work a few times and then stop working....great quality should last a long time. September 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Coldhandsandfeet Socks do what I needed them to do for the price. I got these for a medical condition, I was diagnosed with Renaud's syndrome where my feet and hands get very cold for hours. So I needed a fast, cheap fix. These socks use a single D size battery each so I had to get 2 rechargeable D batteries and a charger for them ( I had plenty of AA's tho too bad it didnt use AA's). The socks do warm up feet where nothing else would even electric blanket. However I do have them over regular socks and inside very large thick insulated boot slippers (several inches thick boot slippers). The rechargeable batteries last only about 3 hrs. so I am getting a second set of batteries. Cons: They use button snaps as the connector to the top of the battery and so I dont know if it is always making full contact or not. The battery holder is fabric not rigid so the batteries can jostle around. D batteries are big so you can really lay on your side with them on. I get the impression these might not last a very long time before a wire might come loose. Since I needed these on very short notice the next pair i get will be better more expensive ones that use AA batteries and maybe have on off and different heat settings. May 22, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Julianne poor heat quality The idea is great in concept, but not in functionality. The socks barely got warm and the heat did not last even half as long as advertised. Don't waste your money. January 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Butch battery powered heated socks The only thing I see wrong with these socks is that the batteries are hard to put into socks when they are on your person...It's hard to snap the button and push down on the batteries . Otherwise I see no problem with the socks. They sure keep your feet warm. thanks,Joe December 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by stixx awesome Worth every penny would recommend to all hunters and anyone else outside for long periods of time December 14, 2013

Hawaiian Electric Company plans to shutter its aging Honolulu Power Plant within three years.
The move is part of a five-year-plan to try and meet the future power needs of the state by turning to renewable energy sources.
The plant, which is located on Ala Moana Blvd. was built in 1954.
The oil fired generation units are less efficient and will be deactivated along with two units at Waiau and two at the Kahului plant on Maui.
HECO owns the land under the Honolulu Plant but has no plans to dismantle it.
It will be kept as a back-up system in the event of an emergency.
"It is going to be there in the the back yard so to speak. So we will for the near future be keeping it for that reserve possibility," said HECO spokesman Peter Rosegg.
At one time there had been talk of redeveloping the area, but HECO says that is not an option at this point.
The plant is in an area under the jurisdiction of the Hawaii Community Development Authority.
HECO says none of its workers will lose their jobs as a result of the mothballing of the plants.

Cruise ship passengers recall days of miseryap photo
Rick OShea answers a question as he waits to board the Explorer of the Seas cruise ship after it docked at a berth in Bayonne, N.J., Wednesday.
BAYONNE, N.J. Passengers aboard a cruise ship on which hundreds fell ill recalled days of misery holed up in their rooms as it returned to its home port Wednesday from a Caribbean trip cut short by what is suspected to be among the largest such norovirus outbreaks in the last 20 years.
Travelers aboard the Explorer of the Seas recounted hundreds throwing up, and stricken passengers having food brought to their rooms. Others were served from covered buffets by crew members wearing gloves and masks during an outbreak that sickened nearly 700 passengers and crew on the ship operated by Royal Caribbean.
Kim Waite, 50, of London, England, was on the cruise with her husband, Fred, to celebrate the end of her cancer treatments. She got severely ill, and barely saw her husband the whole trip.
My husband had to put me in a wheelchair and take me to the infirmary. The door opened on the lift and there were just hundreds of people being sick everywhere, she said. They were throwing up in buckets and bags I started crying, I couldnt believe it. I was in shock.
Ive never wanted to go home so much in my life. Ive never slept so much in my life, and Ive got no sun tan.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said its latest count puts the number of those sickened at 630 passengers and 54 crew members. The ship, on a 10-day cruise that had to be cut short, was carrying 3,050 passengers.
Health investigators suspect norovirus, but lab results are not expected until later this week. If norovirus is to blame, it would be one of the largest norovirus outbreaks on a cruise ship in the last 20 years, the CDC said. A 2006 norovirus outbreak on a Carnival Cruise Lines ship also sickened close to 700.
Retiree Bill Rakowicz, 61, from the city of St. Thomas in Ontario, Canada, said he thought he was just seasick when he began suffering from vomiting, pain and diarrhea.
Then I went out of my room and saw people with gloves and people sick everywhere, he said, adding that he saw a man in a wheelchair vomiting, then falling on the floor and hitting his head.
He said he had the symptoms for five days starting Jan. 22, the day after the ship departed Bayonne. It was awful. You feel like you want to give in, he said.
Rakowicz gave high marks to Royal Caribbean for going above and beyond in its efforts to help passengers. A female traveling companion did not get sick, he said, which he said was not unusual. He said he was aware of a number of cases in which one person in a room got sick and the other didnt.
Pastor Sue Rogutski, of Bloomsburg, Pa., said she got so sick she was quarantined for three days. She said her husband, Leonard, a nurse who only fell ill toward the end of the trip and less severely than she, had to carry her down from their room to the sick bay.
When we were in the sick bay, people were getting nervous and they started showing up there to try to get help, she said. Suddenly, there was influx of 150 people. That puts into perspective what this crew was facing that it was epidemic.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.

The Filibuster
This weekend we saw a series pitting the team with the best record in
the league against the team with the worst record. At what point in the
season do you think we'll see this again and which teams will take part
the next time around?
As long as the Washington Nationals continue to be a baseball franchise (sorta), you can be quite sure that this scenario will pop up once again. Will they be playing the MLB best Cardinals next time? The Dodgers? The Blue Jays in June during interleague play?
The truth is: I have absolutely no clue.
Because so far nothing this season has been on my radar: that the Cardinals' piecemeal bullpen could hold itself together through April… that the Blue Jays would find a way to win in the AL East… that no one wants Pedro Martinez…
But in the end, one thing will always remain certain: The Washington Nationals are a national joke.
After some hardcore number-crunching analysis, one might conclude that their suckage is rooted in their inherent identity crisis:
- Are we the Expos?
- Are we the Senators who are now the Twins?
- Are we the Nationals who were the Expos?
- Are we the other Senators who are now the Rangers?
Or perhaps it stems from their dizzying closet of uniform combinations:
Who knows? Maybe the Nats are an embarrassment because they find this food stand inside Nationals Park to be a family-friendly establishment:
Dear readers, I could go in a million different directions with that snafu of a baseball bodega — none of them good — but I will save you (and myself) from the certain discomfort and unpleasant visualization it would cause.
Whatever the reason for the Nationals' lack of success, I must admit how sad it was for me — as a baseball fan — to see such a beautiful ballpark only a quarter full for a Friday night game. It was disappointing too that there were more Cardinal fans in attendance than Nats fans and that the loudest cheers I heard all weekend were in response to the Capitals vs. Penguins playoff hockey game — the favorable D.C. score of which was posted on the jumbotron in between innings, thus rousing Washingtonians into a fervent coup d'etat aimed towards building a bigger hockey arena while at the same time finding a more thirsty suitor for the oh-so-lowly Nats, all of their prior nicknames, logos and dysfunctional sausages.
So far, no takers.
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Jeff, you're wrong about the Washington Nationals being a national joke. They are a "natinal" joke. (I assume you heard about the wardrobe malfunction involving Adam Dunn and Ryan Zimmerman?) And speaking of uniforms, four different uniforms = a way for the team to make money off the fans who simply must buy one of each jersey that the Nationals wear. *rolling eyes* Oh, and yes…Senators Sausages is just wrong on so many levels…….
It is very sad to have a stadium so empty. We Red Sox fan don't want to see Fenway replaced, but I think many of us wish the stadium could be bigger.
I wish the Nationals could turn it around because I'd love to see a good team in DC. But look how long it took the Rays to fill up the Trop (and win a pennant).
Shelley — Oh yes, we were on top of the "Natinals" debacle. Good times. Why was it just the two franchise players who had bad unis? Conspiracy…
Julia — I hear ya. Never been to Fenway, but I imagine that if anything it's better than Wrigley, which could stand to be torn down IMO.
Jane — Yeah, Rays have the excuse that they started from scratch though. The Nats were the Expos… and it's been 40 plus years of losing for them. Same old story. Sad really.
Maybe it would help if they got rid of that 'W' logo. Not much good has come from a Dubya in Washington.
Recent memory proves you are correct, Erin. Very, very correct.
If Ted Kennedy wasn't ill, I'm sure he'd be standing up on the counter of the "Senator's Sausages" cart asking, "Er ah, any uh ladies like to, uh, sahmple my saaausages? Er ah…"
Prince — Gross, but true. I'm surprised the illness would hold him back. All the more reason to "solicit" if ya ask me.
King of Cali — That sound needs to go… and it will with the next post as it gets knocked down the list. It comes up because that video from one of Al's earlier posts about the magic cat at Citi Field automatically starts when you load the page. It'll go away soon.
I can relate to your point on how a beautiful stadium can be half empty. I went to Camden Yards in Baltimore and the stadium was absolutely gorgous. Too bad it was over half empty. Probably closer to 75% emtpy.
Hmm. Well, DillonMcT, perhaps this is a Mid-Atlantic problem more than anything. I blame the politicians.
Whenever an awful ballclub builds a new stadium, no amount of paint, sparkle or glamour is going to bring the crowds in past Opening Day or a series with the Yankees. The only thing worse than having to pay $8 to see the Nationals ruin my weekend is paying $10 to see them ruin my weekend sat in a chair two inches wider. Ashhttp://ashleymarshall.mlblogs.com

Sorry – can't help! Maybe Mark Newman could help or is there a Rockies Beatwriter here on MLBlogs who could help?
Not to sound rude but can you guys just hurry up and start losing again so you can finally trade the Phillies Jason Marquis? Haha I'm just playin, there was all kinds of rumors around here in Philly that we were on the verge of getting Marquis but not now since Colorado decided they wanted to start winning again. Haha, nice blog man and I like that jersey, no idea where its from though and I've never seen anything like it. Be sure to check out mine some time.
No clues on the Jersey?? Tough loss yesterday but I've lost no faith whatsoever in the Rockies. Enjoy the day off fellas. It's back to business on Friday…Fireworks…My camera will back soon…It's all good…Go Rockies…D
Julia…Congrats to you on #4. I've owned that # 6 spot for months. Not bad for a lil old Rockies Blog. Great game last night, even better fireworks show afterwards. My camera didn't make it back from the factory on Friday so I'll have no camera this whole weekend. I'll have Friday's game entry up tonight without many pictures. Guess I'll have to impress you with my writing skills…Thanks for reading my Rockies blog and keeping the Rant in the top ten for over a year…D

- Author(s)
- Brodie, Jean P.; Usher, Christopher; Conroy, Charlie; Strader, Jay; Arnold, Jacob A.; Forbes, Duncan A.; Romanowsky, Aaron J.
- Abstract
- Due to its proximity (9 Mpc) and the strongly bimodal color distribution of its spectroscopically well-sampled globular cluster (GC) system, the early-type galaxy NGC3115 provides one of the best available tests of whether the color bimodality widely observed in GC systems generally reflects a true metallicity bimodality. Color bimodality has alternatively been attributed to a strongly nonlinear color-metallicity relation reflecting the influence of hot horizontal-branch stars. Here, we couple Subaru Suprime-Cam gi photometry with Keck/DEIMOS spectroscopy to accurately measure GC colors and a CaT index that measures the Ca II triplet. We find the NGC3115 GC system to be unambiguously bimodal in both color and the CaT index. Using simple stellar population models, we show that the CaT index is essentially unaffected by variations in horizontal-branch morphology over the range of metallicities relevant to GC systems (and is thus a robust indicator of metallicity) and confirm bimodality in the metallicity distribution. We assess the existing evidence for and against multiple metallicity subpopulations in early- and late-type galaxies and conclude that metallicity bi/multimodality is common. We briefly discuss how this fundamental characteristic links directly to the star formation and assembly histories of galaxies.

Walker's smoking surcharge faces opposition
Groups line up against proposal
Anti-smoking advocates say a $50-a-month health insurance surcharge for state workers who smoke is the wrong approach to getting smokers to quit.
Gov. Scott Walker is proposing the surcharge as part of his biennial budget proposal.
Smoke Free Wisconsin, the American Lung Association, the American Cancer Society and the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids don't support the smoking fee.
They argue there is little scientific evidence to show financial incentives or disincentives cause someone to quit smoking. The groups say the state should instead use smoke-free laws, tobacco prevention and cessation programs and cigarette taxes.
State Department of Administration spokeswoman Stephanie Marquis told the State Journal smokers cost a third more to insure than non-smokers. She says the fee will affect 10 percent of the state workforce and will save $2.7 million over two years.

"Nuclear Collisions: Discord, Reform & the Nuclear Nonproliferation Regime"
By Steven E. Miller, Director, International Security Program; Editor-in-Chief, International Security; Co-Principal Investigator, Project on Managing the Atom, Wael Al-Assad, Jayantha Dhanapala, C. Raja Mohan and Ta Minh Tuan
Nearly all of the 190 signatories to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) agree that the forty-two-year-old treaty is fragile and in need of fundamental reform. But gaining consensus on how to fix the NPT will require reconciling the sharply differing views of nuclear weapon states and non-nuclear weapon states. Strengthening the international rules is increasingly important as dozens of countries, including some with unstable political environments, explore nuclear energy. The result is an ever-increasing distribution of this technology. In this paper, Steven E. Miller outlines the main points of contention within the NPT regime and identifies the issues that have made reform so difficult.

The Inspire series is a perennial best seller here at Running Warehouse. We expect the eighth version to satisfy the base and win over some converts who will be impressed with the shoe's degree of cushioning, smooth transition and crowd-pleasing fit.
If you're a runner needing a moderate degree of pronation control, it's hard not to feel that running shoe technology is in a golden age right now. Models like the Inspire, Brooks Ravenna 2, Asics GT-2170 and Saucony Guide 5 provide the support many runners need while feeling flexible and responsive underfoot. The Inspire is a class leader in keeping the transition smooth while correcting overpronation. Give thanks to advancements in their Wave Plate design.
That said, the Inspire 8 feels like a lot of shoe underfoot. The heel is pretty tall (32mm) and the gender-specific mid/outsole design in the Men's mode widens the base to improve stability and dissipate shock. Your foot is definitely aware that things are happening below it, but for the most part those things are smile-inducing.
'Average' is the first word that comes to my mind when wearing the Inspire 8. I don't mean that in a bad way – I think Mizuno nailed the fit, ride and feel that a runner looking for a high-mileage daily trainer really wants.
This feels like a lot of shoe underfoot, even for a runner who is expecting a fairly protected ride.
The Inspire 8 fits me like a good Mizuno should – the ride is firm but never stiff. One thing I'd like to see is a little less volume in the forefoot.

Illinois governor signs pension overhaul into lawAP Photo
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn smiles during the signing of the pension overhaul legislation bill Thursday.
CHICAGO Gov. Pat Quinn has signed landmark legislation Thursday to reform Illinois massively-underfunded pension system, though the new law is certain to face threatened lawsuits by labor unions.
The overhaul, approved by the General Assembly this week after years of delay and inaction, cuts benefits for most employees and retirees. It has a June 1 effective date, but could be delayed by the legal challenges.
Quinn, who often signs new laws in celebratory public events, signed the pension bill Thursday afternoon in a private ceremony. It was a mark of how politically sensitive the issue is in Democrat-controlled Illinois, with hundreds of thousands of public employees and retirees across Illinois being negatively affected.
Illinois is moving forward, Quinn said in a statement released after the bill was signed. This is a serious solution to address the most dire fiscal challenge of our time.
Illinois $100 billion shortfall in funding employee retirement benefits is considered the worst pension crisis in the nation. For decades, while other states dealt with similar problems, Illinois lawmakers and governors skipped or shorted payments to their states five pension systems. It led to repeated downgrades of the states credit rating and diverts millions of dollars from education and social programs.
The new plan is expected to save the state roughly $160 billion over three decades and guarantees Illinois will make its full annual contribution to the pension funds. Legislative leaders have estimated the plan will reduce the current unfunded liability by about $21 billion and fully fund the retirement systems by 2044.
Unions representing public employees say the legislation, unveiled last week and approved Tuesday by the General Assembly, violates the Illinois Constitution. They cite a provision that prohibits diminishing pension benefits.
However, Quinn and legislative leaders believe the new proposal will survive a court challenge because of the funding guarantee and a reduction in employees own contributions to their retirement funds.
Somethings got to be done, House Speaker Michael Madigan told representatives on the day of the vote. We cant go on dedicating so much of our resources to this one sector of pensions.
Pension reform has been a top priority for Quinn, but previous attempts to achieve it went nowhere. That included special legislative sessions in Springfield, a social media campaign and even a failed attempt to withhold lawmakers salaries until they acted.
Under the new law, automatic, annually-compounded 3 percent cost-of-living increases for retirees considered to be the biggest driver of pension costs would be replaced with smaller annual adjustments for the highest earners. Some workers would have the option of freezing their pension and starting a 401(k)-style defined contribution plan. Also, the retirement age will be pushed back for those 45 and younger.
Pension reform already has become a major issue in Quinns bid for re-election in 2014, with the governor claiming it as a victory but three of four Republican challengers opposed to the law.
The three are State Sen. Kirk Dillard, Illinois Treasurer Dan Rutherford and venture capitalist Bruce Rauner.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. Full StoryTroubling as the details of the McLaren Report were, a news item out of Russia earlier this week... Full Story

Homemade Hemp Milk
Making your own hemp milk is easier than buying it! Plus by making your own, you don't get any extra added ingredients, just pure creamy goodness. However, since there are no added flavorings, this milk tastes a lot like hemp seeds (as it should) so the flavor might be a tad stronger if you are accustomed to store-bought hemp milk. We buy Nutiva shelled hemp seeds in bulk through amazon.com. I like to store a jar of them in the refrigerator and the rest in the freezer to keep them fresh.
Use this milk for baking, in pancakes, as a dairy-free milk base for smoothies, poured over whole grain breakfast porridge, or just for drinking. It stores best in the refrigerator in a sealed glass jar or pitcher for 3 to 4 days. The small glass pitcher you see in these photos is from our local food co-op. I actually have two different sizes, both which have a really nice lid that screws on. I store my homemade almond milk and cashew milk in these glass pitchers as well.
Homemade hemp milk is also suitable for anyone following an Elimination Diet. It can be used in all phases of the diet! Hemp seeds are high in easily digested protein, if fact, they contain all 20 known amino acids!
Homemade Hemp Milk
I use a Vita-Mix to make this milk, I have not tried it using a regular blender so don't know how it would work. If you have made it without a Vita-Mix, could you please leave a comment so others can gain from your experience? I always strain my hemp milk using a nut milk bag, though others who commented on our Facebook page said they just blend the seeds and water and didn't mention straining.
1/2 cup shelled hemp seeds
3 cups filtered water
1 tablespoon maple syrup
pinch sea salt
Place all ingredients into a high-powered blender and blend for 60 to 90 seconds or until ultra smooth. Place a nut milk bag into a large jar or pitcher and pour hemp milk through the bag, squeezing out the milk, and leaving the pulp behind. I compost the leftover pulp. Store your hemp milk in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Use it in recipes wherever milk is called for. Source: www.NourishingMeals.com

Will cheese cloth work the same to drain it through?ReplyDeleteReplies

Hi Ramona, yes I've used cheesecloth to strain out the pulp before I finally bought a nut milk bag. A clean bar dish towel (non-terry cloth) works well too.ReplyDelete
do you have any tips for those of us using unshelled hemp seeds?ReplyDelete
Could you use the pulp in cookies/cakes? Any ideas? I know its not totally wasteful to compost, but is there any reason not to use it? I'm not familiar with hemp at all, so I'm just being totally earnest in asking here.ReplyDelete
I love hemp seeds. I have all of the ingredients-yeah! Making this later this afternoon-so excited!ReplyDelete

Are the hemp seeds you buy on Amazon certified gluten-free? Do you subscribe and save on Amazon? If you do, is it working out good for you?
I cannot wait to try this! Right now I buy So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk, but I would much rather make something without all the extras in it.
Still hoping you will post your coconut yogurt recipe! Thanks!!!! You are like part of our family - the kids will ask "Is this one Ali's recipe?" ;0) Too cute.
I totally agree Ali - making hemp milk is the easiest! I use the Nutiva shelled hemp seed in a regular Oster blender (the old-time type) and I don't strain the hemp milk. It does result is a little black residue in the bottom of the jar but I just throw that residue away when the jar is finished. (maybe 1 tsp) I tried straining it the first time and spent a great deal of time trying to squeeze out the pulp through cheesecloth or a nut bag. Way too long for as little residue as it left.ReplyDelete
Thank yoU!!!ReplyDelete
I have to try this! I quit using hemp milk because it got so expensive and almond milk was so much cheaper but I really need the Omega-3's in the hemp in my diet especially during these gray Seattle winters. Off to check the price on Amazon.
I just made it in my Kitchenaid blender and it's beyond easy! I strained it, but next time I'm just going to let the pulp fall to the bottom. I didn't add any maple syrup and it tasted fine to me. DH said he'd use it in his protein shake. I will definitely use it in baking too. DS #2, who has never been a milk drinker, drank it w/o any fuss! I'm sure DS #1 won't notice any difference in his cereal or chocolate milk either!ReplyDelete

Can you use unhulled seeds if you soak them first?ReplyDelete
I've made a similar hemp milk recipe using a regular old Oster beehive blender, and it worked great. No straining needed. I think the hemp seeds are soft enough for a regular blender. I may have to try using maple syrup instead of agave! Vanilla bean also gives it a good flavor without using flavored extract.ReplyDelete
Hello, by the way! New food blogger here. :-) I've been reading your blog for a while and really love your recipes. They fit my dietary restrictions quite well and are easy to adapt, so thanks!
love this, thank you!ReplyDelete
So any idea how many batches you get out of a 5# bag of hemp seed?ReplyDelete
Thanks everyone for the comments. We love making hemp milk and I am glad I finally got around to sharing my recipe!ReplyDelete
To those of you who asked about using unhulled seeds, I really don't know as I have never tried it before. If you do, could you please leave a comment to let others know? Thanks! :)
You could definitely add the pulp to cookies/muffins/breads though I only get a tablespoon or two so usually compost it.
I buy Nutiva hemp seeds (and chia seeds). I contacted the company and both of those seeds are processed in a gluten-free facility, though, unfortunately their virgin coconut oil is not processed in a GF facility!
Cynthia - Although I do buy the 5 pound bags from amazon, we use hemp seeds for other things, not only for making milk, so don't know how many batches a 5 pound bag would yield. You could weigh out a 1/2 cup of hemp seeds and then do the math to figure out the cost per batch. Let me know if you figure it out, would love to know! :)

I use an Oysterizer blender, it works great for the hemp milk and other smoothies, plus love the fact that the blender jar is glass, which makes cleanup simpler too. I do not strain my hemp milk either, it may have some residue, which I can just discard. I also add a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, and some cinnamon and I try to only use spring water too. This stuff is beyond delicious, I have lost my taste for milk - got some?!ReplyDeleteReplies

Hey! thanks for this great recipe, my collective loves it! aswell do i! A tip for leftover pulp: I use the leftover pulp to make spread/hemp butter. It works quite well and is still delicious even though its already been blended. It might not hold as much nutrition as before, but its still a delicious spread :) Cheers!ReplyDelete

Hi, I have a question about measuring. If your recipe calls for a half cup of the hemp seeds, should the top of the measuring cup be leveled off, or should it be like the picture shows? Thank you for your wonderful recipes!!!ReplyDelete
I get my hemp seeds from http://www.EatSeed.com , they seam to be the cheapest, fastest and best quality. I've never made my own milk so I'm loving this post! ThanksReplyDelete
Thank you for your post! Do you know if this hemp milk recipe has as much fat as store bought hemp milk? I will be switching my baby from breast milk to hemp milk when she's 1 and she needs the fat in her diet.ReplyDelete
Ashley, I don't know the answer to your hemp fat question but I do know that in addition to hemp milk, home made brazil nut milk is great for weaning a baby off breast milk. You make it similarly to this hemp milk recipe, but you definitely want to strain it.ReplyDeleteReplies
Brazil nuts are delicious and a wonderful source of selenium. However I would be concerned about anyone using strictly brazil nuts for their milk. I think it would be good to throw a few in every batch of hemp milk or other nut milk. They are so rich in selenium that if you made your milk out of strictly brazil nuts you may develop a toxicity. Two per day are enough to meet the daily recommended intake.Delete
I used a simple metal mesh tea strainer - the kind that sits along the brim of a mug and has a little mesh basket the tea sits loose in below - kind of like a tea colander. Anyway... I used that to strain my hemp milk into a regular canning jar and it worked perfectly, so easy!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the recipe!!

The only nutritional info I've found is here and here.ReplyDelete
Same as Ali's recipe --
Nutrition (per cup):
221.3 calories;
53% calories from fat;
13.1g total fat;
0.0mg cholesterol;
174.7mg sodium;

14.7g protein
900mg omega-3 fatty acid
2800mg omega-6 fatty acid
A few things I've figured out so far (and a few things I haven't):ReplyDelete
-- I'm getting 1.3 liters of strained hemp milk from 1.4 liters water. So, 5.5 cups of milk from 6 cups of water. So, 92%. (I'm doubling this recipe and using a flour sack towel to strain.)
-- 1 cup of seeds weighs 4.8 ounces.
-- That's 13 liters / 55 cups of milk from a 3-lb bag (10 cups) of seeds, or 21.7 liters / 92 cups from a 5-lb bag (16.67 cups) of seeds.
per cup:
-- Nutiva homemade: $0.63
-- Manitoba Harvest homemade: $0.44
-- Pacific original: $1.44
-- Tempt unsweetened: $1.51
-- Cow's milk(if $3.50/gallon): $0.22
Prices are from Amazon. More on my cost calculation:
The 3-lb bag of Nutiva is $35 on Amazon, or $0.73/oz. 1 cup of seeds weighs 4.8 oz, so 1 cup costs $3.50. My yield from that cup of seeds is 5.5 cups of strained hemp milk. $3.50/5.5 = $0.63 per cup.
If you're yielding 6 cups of unstrained milk, that would cost $0.58 per cup.
The two cheapest options I found:
-- 3-lb bag of Nutiva on Amazon (.73/oz) ... yes, slightly less than the 5-lb bag
-- 5-lb tub of Manitoba Harvest on Amazon (.51/oz) ... but lots of complaints that the tub has too many gravel-hard husks
-- Don't soak shelled hemp seeds. They don't have the phytic acid / enzyme inhibitors that other nuts and seeds have, which requires soaking to remove.
-- Random individuals online mention soaking unshelled hemp seeds for a few hours, apparently to make the protein easier to digest, but those people aren't blending the seeds.
-- I can't really tell a difference in taste between the hemp milk from my old-school Osterizer and the Breville 605 I just bought.
-- For those who don't strain, are you still shaking the container each time you pour? If I don't shake it, a half-inch of cream+pulp accumulates at the bottom of the jar, and I feel like I'm missing out on nutrients and yield.
-- I'm curious whether straining with a nut-milk bag rather than a flour sack towel would improve my yield.Replies

Lynda, you need a new nutritionist. If you are buying from a reputable company like Nutiva, out of Canada, they have strict rules as to how much THC can be in their products. Unless you are smoking weed in conjuncture, there's no way a person consuming a normal amount of powder, oil, milk, or otherwise could test positive. Even a large amount would not be a problem. Any reputable nutritionist would know that.ReplyDelete
And thank you Tracy for the breakdown. Very helpful!

Never give up on treating your cancer for there is a cure and my wife was once a cancer patient, am Joe living in the us. Two years ago my wife suffered from kidney cancer and the doctor told us that nothing could be done, I was so frustrated and the thought of loosing my wife was so unbearable that I lost all hope.ReplyDelete
One faithful day my daughter told me that she had found a cure for cancer and she found it on the internet, she ask me to watch Rick Simpson's video with her. Although i didn't believe her I watched it anyway just to please her and after watching it I discovered that it brought my hope back and i wanted to give it a try.
I and my daughter started searching for legitimate source that could provide the Rick Simpson's hemp oil that would cure my wife. We read a lot of testimonies online of how a lot of doctors has helped a lot of patients cured their cancer with hemp oil and it was on one of this sites we found Dr. George, we contacted him Via his Email email@example.com which we found in the testimony we read about him.
Dr. George's hemp oil is the best ever, I followed his instruction and now my wife is healthy and I am so excited.
Thanks to Dr George for helping my wife cure her cancer with his hemp oil and for also making life worth living once again.
I just started making Hemp milk. I have both of your cookbooks (which I recommend to everyone I know). I noticed that the recipes for nut/see milks in your first cookbook says to use either Dates or Maple Syrup. But your 2nd book (and this blog post) only mentions Maple Syrup. I'm wondering if you've made a conscious decision to move away from dates in your milks and if so, why? Or was this change just a way to simplify the recipes?ReplyDelete
Gretchen- Yes, just to simplify. It makes the blending go faster. You can use either. We definitely still consume dates! :)ReplyDelete
I just saw my allergist today (I have eosinophilic esophagitis) and he said hemp milk could be a problem for me, anyway, as many with my condition react to it in the same way as wheat. I don't know if that's common with other inflammatory conditions, though, but I thought I'd mention it here since you say it's good for an elimination diet.ReplyDelete

You can also strain any nut milk/seed milk using knee high panty hose. the mesh is very fine, they cost about $0.99 at my local CVS and you get about 5 batches out of each one before they begin to break down. A very convenient alternative.ReplyDelete

Glen Doherty, a former Navy SEAL, was working as a security contractor in Libya when a group of militants stormed the Benghazi consulate. NBC's Katy Tur reports.
Updated at 10:27 p.m. ET: Two former Navy SEALs were identified Thursday as the third and fourth victims of the attack on a U.S. consulate in Libya this week that also killed the U.S. ambassador.
U.S. officials and family members identified the men as Glen Doherty, 42, a native of Winchester, Mass., and Tyrone S. Woods, 41. Details of how they died haven't been made public.
The men were working as private security specialists for the U.S. government when militants attacked the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi on Tuesday night. In all, four Americans were killed; the others were previously identified as the U.S. ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, and Sean Smith, an information management officer.
Libyan authorities said Thursday that they had arrested four men in connection with the attack but gave no further details.
In a statement Thursday evening, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Woods was known to his family and friends as "Rone" that and they they relied on "his courage and skill, honed over two decades as a Navy SEAL."
Woods, who was also a registered nurse and certified paramedic, served several tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and had been protecting U.S. diplomatic personnel in dangerous posts from Central America to the Middle East, Clinton said.
He was married to a dentist named Dorothy and had three sons: Tyrone, Jr., Hunter and Kai, who was several months old.
Defense Department records listed Wood's residence as Portland, Ore., but NBC station KNSD of San Diego and numerous other reports from the area said he lived in Imperial Beach, Calif., where he settled after leaving the Navy and for a time owned a pub called the Salty Frog.
His death was confirmed by his ex-wife, Patty So of San Diego, who was notified by the U.S. government.
Movie-fueled protests spread in Middle East
"He was the greatest Navy SEAL. Nobody was more skilled than him," said So, the mother of Woods' two teenage sons. "He loved being a SEAL more than life itself."
Doherty — known to friends and family as "Bub," according to Clinton — was described as a highly trained marksman and security expert who "lived life to the fullest." He was also an experienced paramedic.
Katie Quigley, the sister of Glen Doherty, one of the Americans killed in Libya, talks about her brother.
"Glen lived his life to the fullest. He was my brother, but if you asked his friends, he was their brother, as well," his sister, Katie Quigley of Marblehead, Mass., said Thursday.
Doherty joined the Navy in his late 20s after having attended flight school and worked as a ski instructor. A skilled pilot, master marksman and medical corpsman, Doherty was a member of the elite Sea, Air and Land (SEAL) special operations corps for nine years before he left the Navy in 2005.
Kokoro Camp Trainer of Encinitas, Calif., where Doherty worked as a fitness trainer, said that as a civilian, Doherty continued to take assignments in security and intelligence for various U.S. government agencies, serving in Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan and Afghanistan, as well as Libya.
In Libya, Doherty "was protecting the ambassador and also helping the wounded" when he was killed, Quigley said.
Doherty co-wrote the book "21st Century Sniper: A Complete Practical Guide" with another former SEAL, Brandon Webb, who called him "one of the finest human beings I've ever known."
"He died serving with men he respected, protecting the freedoms we enjoy as Americans and doing something he loved," Webb said.
In 2009, Doherty was featured in an episode of the NBC-TV reality series "The Wanted," in which intelligence and military experts and investigative journalists sought to track down suspected terrorists.
In the episode, Scott Tyler, a fellow former SEAL, endorses Doherty's marksmanship and describes him as "highly recommended from people I trust in my community."
Doherty and other operatives hunted a suspected terrorist in Norway for extradition to Iraq. Doherty devised the surveillance plan, using miniature cameras hidden outside the suspect's home in Oslo.
Security forces faced violent protests in Egypt and Yemen spurred by angry mobs accusing the U.S. of insulting the prophet Muhammad. NBC's Richard Engel reports.
Doherty was interviewed on screen discussing surveillance techniques and the importance of maintaining focus in a dangerous situation.
It's "a good thing to just read all of the people in the neighborhood and just try to be hyperaware of what's happening," he said. "It's not like you see on TV ... You focus on the mission. That's it."
Quigley said the attack on the consulate had to have been extremely violent and well-coordinated, because "Glen was highly trained. He was the best of the best."
"This was serious, well-planned, well-executed," she told NBC station KNSD-TV of San Diego. "He was very good at what he did."

text: I agree, fresh is so much easier than frozen! Frozen takes forever and a day to thaw (even after an overnight in the fridge it's still mostly frozen!). And less "contact" if that's an issue. I also agree that you need to confidently tell her how it's going to be. It's not a question and if you project uncertainty, you're opening it up to debate. You're not uncertain. This is how it's going to be. You can be firm while still being super nice and appreciative. If you get put on the defensive, you're immediately at a disadvantage.
