If you haven't already heard, the popular domain name registrar Registerfly.com is in a tailspin leaving thousands of customers unable to renew or transfer their domain names. I was one of the luck ones and was finally able to get my domain names transferred successfully to GoDaddy.com. However, a blogger at pokerrouge.com figured out a loophole to get their "Auth Code" which is essential for getting your domain name transferred. You have to follow these steps very carefully in order to do this. If you are still having trouble, check out the posts over at www.registerflies.com which is full of useful information gett the hell outta there. Good Luck!

Sugar Free Chocolate Milk
Several months ago, I went on a no sugar diet with dramatic results. Obviously, the first week was the worst with the cravings but after that, they tapered off a bit and I could easily turn down any sweet. I now simply miss the ability to have a dessert after dinner or something as simple as chocolate milk, one of my favorites. However, I just recently discovered Stevia, the natural sugar substitute that is about 300 times sweeter than sugar. There are a ton of sites out there which discuss this "dietary supplement" (sssshhh... don't say sweetener unless you want the FDA investigating you) so if you want to learn more, I suggest you google "Stevia".Giving up chocolate is really sad because chocolate is actually good for you if it wasnt for all the fat and sugar. It turns out that cocoa is extremely high in Antioxidants. So here is a basic recipe for creating a sugar free, chocolate milk that is high in antioxidants and if you were to make with a lowfat milk, is virtually guilt free:
Sugar Free Chocolate Milk
1/4 Cup Water
1/4 Cup Cocoa Powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp sea salt
Stevia to taste (I have used Approx 60 to 80 Drops clear liquid extract OR 1/2 TBsp of Nunaturals NuStevia)
1/2 Gallon Milk
In a small saucepan, heat the water and Cocoa to melt the cocoa and stir constantly to break up any lumps. Once the Cocoa has melted, add the Vanilla, Salt and Stevia. Remove from the heat and add about a cup of the milk to thin out the chocolate mixture. Pour into your half gallon of milk, shake and enjoy.
Note: You could probably just melt the cocoa in a 1/4 cup of milk from your half gallon but I have found it easier to do this with water and since I get Whole Raw Milk from a farm, I usually pour off a little cream from each new jar and save that for making butter. This leaves me a little extra space to add the melted chocolate mixture.
Also, I have not tried this recipe with pure Stevia yet but would guess the measurement to be a fraction of a teaspon but will update this recipe once I have figured that out.
