Mom still seeks justice in son's 2013 murder
Posted February 26, 2014
Raleigh, N.C. — Tamira Anderson believes someone knows something about her son's murder.
It was year ago this month – two days before Valentine's Day – that Virginia investigators found Torrey Anderson's abandoned car.
His burned body was nearby.
Investigators are currently working on a timeline of events before his death. They believe the former Garner High School student was shot and killed somewhere other than where his body was found.
A day has not gone by that Anderson doesn't think of her son.
"It's been rough," she said. "We have a great family. We have a great support system, we have faith in god and that's why we won't give up."
Anderson believes her son send her a sign recently. She was picking out her son's coffin last Valentine's Day, but this year, she found a ring with wings on it while at a concert.
It serves as a reminder of the blessing her son was to her and why she will never give up seeking justice for her son, she said.
She then got her first tattoo – her son's name and a wing.
"We had a special bond," she said. "Mother and son that was us.

Many private forecasters are less optimistic about the deficit. Analysts at JPMorgan foresee a $1 trillion budget gap for 2013. That would mark a fifth straight year of deficits of at least $1 trillion.All that assumes the country avoids tax increases and deep spending cuts that take effect next year unless Congress reaches a budget deal. â¿¿ THE THREAT Over time, big government debts can damage the economy. The economists Kenneth Rogoff of Harvard University and Carmen Reinhart of the Peterson Institute for International Economics have found that growth tends to slow sharply once national government debt reaches 90 percent of GDP. When the government borrows heavily, it can drive up interest rates and divert financing that would have been available for private companies. Rising debt levels can cause some investors to lose confidence in the government's ability to pay its bills. They would demand substantially higher interest rates. Higher rates would discourage businesses and consumers from borrowing, thereby slowing the economy. The government would collect less in taxes and spend more on unemployment benefits and other social programs. That creates a vicious cycle like the one that has entrapped European countries such as Spain, Italy and Greece; Rates are rising, economies buckling, budget deficits widening and debts swelling. So far, that hasn't happened to the United States. Investors, worried about the troubles in Europe, have been eager to buy Treasury debt, allowing the federal government to borrow at historically low rates. â¿¿ THE FIX: If he's elected to a second term, Obama has pledged to reduce the government's deficits over the next 10 years by about $4 trillion. Obama says he would reduce the growth of federal spending â¿¿ slowly, to avoid triggering another recession. He also wants to end the Bush-era tax cuts on income that exceeds $200,000 people for single taxpayers and $250,000 for couples.

Heads of local manufacturers, economic development professionals and school officials for Elk River High School met Nov. 28 to begin exploring ways they could work together to better prepare and encourage students in careers in manufacturing.
The meeting at Elk River High School, an offshoot of an earlier Manufacturers Connection meeting in Princeton that got the trio jazzed up about the notion of collaborating, brought to light a number of possibilities.
Among the lowest hanging fruits the groups agreed to work on include continued tours of local business and apprenticeship programs that would give students a taste of the future.
Along these lines the city of Elk River plans to work with manufacturers to develop videos that take students and possibly parents inside the four walls of area manufacturers to explain opportunities and establish what type of employees are needed.
The videos will also likely be used to paint a picture of model employees, and those employees who don't work out as well or get fired.
Jeb Anderson, a former industrial tech teacher who was cut from a school budget and now leads the Minnesota Youth Apprenticeship Program for the state, also attended the meeting. He explained how he's developing an apprenticeship program modeled after a successful one in Wisconsin.
"We're here to show students that manufacturing is a great career," Anderson said.
Other initiatives being examined by school officials and manufacturers include getting manufacturers involved in the process of updating the science and industrial technology curriculum. Science is being worked on this year, and industrial technology is up for review in 2013.
Educators and manufacturers seem to agree it's time to break down some of the barriers preventing certain disciplines within the high school walls from collaborating as well time to get schools and businesses working well together.
"We often operate in silos," Elk River High School Principal Terry Bizal said.
Manufacturers expressed an interest in providing software and, in some cases, machines to help prepare students on some of the industry production standards. They also expressed an interest increasing depth of students' knowledge and skills.
They also suggested the after-school robotics program be required of industrial technology students.
One potential means of increasing the level of partnership and collaboration was to establish a manufacturing advisory board.
Manufacturers expressed a concern for shrinking industrial tech programs and wanting to see such programs head in a new direction.
Anderson said he could relate, having come from Anoka High School, where there were once nine industrial teachers and there are now three, and one of them is a floater.
"It's a societal problem," he said. "We need to create a pipeline for employers if we're going to have success."
Anderson said it's all about relationships.
"If we can match the right kids with the right businesses, there's no telling how far those student will go."
Manufacturers' survey identifies needs, areas of potential partnership
The Elk River Economic Development staff recently surveyed Elk River manufacturers on the topics of finding quality employees and how to best prepare students for a career in manufacturing.
Below is a summary of the results:
•When looking for an employee, manufacturers look for the following skills/attributes: flexibility, self-motivation, innovation, teamwork, technical skills, good communication, decision-making skills, desire to learn, courage, strategic thinking, positive attitude, good computer skills, good grammar, detail-oriented, strong work ethic, math skills (geometry and trig), passion, drive, integrity, attendance, creativity, mechanical aptitude
•Challenges they are seeing with current and potential employees include: lack of formal training in technical skills, work ethic, soft skills, attendance, negative attitudes, poor math skills
•Trends they are seeing as they relate to finding skilled laborers: formal training in technical skills, too much emphasis on four-year degrees, shortage in engineers
•Advice as to how to prepare a child for a career in manufacturing include: STEM curriculum, trade school technical degree with an energy focus, apprenticeships, shop courses, math courses (geometry and trig), communication courses (specifically reading and peer-to-peer), computer skills, critical thinking, problem-solving, courses to teach kids how to work with others and build relationships in the workplace, science courses, core manufacturing, general business, marketing, sales, leadership, conflict resolution
•Seven manufacturers said they'd like to review and provide input on a ERHS IT curriculum, two said no and one said maybe, depending on commitment
•Eight manufacturers said they are interested in providing facility tours, job shadowing and/or apprenticeship opportunities to students, one said no and one said maybe.

Film Review: ZaytounMiddle East conflict becomes a feel-good buddy movie.
A proud Palestinian refugee and an Israeli air force pilot form an unlikely bond in this unusual buddy movie, which begins in the war-torn streets of Beirut in 1982. With this feel-good paean to multicultural friendship, Eran Riklis, the Israeli-born director of The Syrian Bride and Lemon Tree, is holding out another olive branch to Israel's Arab enemies—literally, since "zaytoun" is the Arabic word for olive, and also the name of a Palestinian charity organization.
This polished U.K.-Israeli co-production is history as wish fulfillment: politically sanitized and tastefully shot, even the harrowing scenes of summary executions and snipers shooting children in the street. The film's facile message of cross-cultural unity owes more to fairytale than reality, but the action is slick and the story gripping. Appealing to audiences with an interest in Middle Eastern history, but also simple and universal enough to serve as a straight wartime thriller, box-office potential looks fairly healthy.
The 14-year-old Abdallah El Akal gives a compelling star performance as Fahed, a Palestinian street vendor living in a refugee ghetto in Beirut. Enjoying a credibility upswing following his role in Sofia Coppola's Somewhere, Stephen Dorff proves persuasively flinty, despite a wobbly accent, as Israeli jet pilot Yoni, shot down over the city and held captive by PLO militants. Fahed and his friends are left to guard this valuable prisoner, exchanging bitter insults and occasional bursts of violence. But Yoni gradually comes to view Fahed as a means of possible escape, tempting the newly orphaned teenager with the promise of a pilgrimage to his family's former home village inside Israel.
Agreeing to a grudging pact of mutual cooperation, Fahed and Yoni flee Beirut and spend a fraught few days rushing to the border, dodging armed Palestinian guerrillas, Lebanese police, border guards and snipers along the way. Here Riklis proves his mettle as a competent action director, shooting a series of near-misses and car chases against a gorgeous backdrop of sun-baked hills and rugged coastline. A farcical encounter with a disco-loving taxi driver also provides a welcome note of absurd comedy.
Full of two-dimensional caricatures and nail-biting close shaves, Zaytoun functions best as an action-heavy road movie. In its calmer latter stages, the film's innate sentimentality begins to grate as Fahed and Yoni form a father-son bond that magically washes away all cultural differences and historical grievances. The implied message, that murderous political conflicts like that between Israel and Palestine can be solved by individual friendship, is risibly simplistic.
All the same, Riklis has made a warm-hearted and well-intentioned movie that will appeal to audiences of all ages, particularly those with no direct investment in either side of this ongoing conflict. The director also drops a few darkly ironic hints for anyone familiar with Middle Eastern history. The notorious Sabra and Shatila massacre of Palestinian refugees in Beirut, as memorialized in Ari Folman's Waltz with Bashir, occurred soon after the events depicted here and are subtly foreshadowed in the final scene. Films can be sweet fairytales, Riklis seems to acknowledge, but real life leaves a much more bitter taste.

Vaccine policy and epidemiology are important components of the Emory Vaccine Center's mission. Dr. Walter Orenstein, Associate Director and former Director of the CDC's National Immunization Program, established the vaccine policy group at the EVC to investigate new strategies for more effective use of present vaccines, especially for critical groups such as school age children, young adults, under-represented populations, and health care workers. Our policy development group consists of an interdisciplinary team that includes Dr. Saad Omer, an infectious disease epidemiologist at Emory's School of Public Health, and scientists at the CDC and other health service providers to solve global problems related to vaccine development, immunization policy, and health services immunization practices.
Recent projects involve the conduct of vaccine trials and large-scale surveillance of vaccine preventable diseases – including trials of maternal influenza immunization, pneumococcal, polio, and measles vaccines in addition to studies to evaluate the roles of schools, parents, health care providers, and state-level legislation in relation to immunization coverage and disease incidence. Other activities include policy analysis on pandemic influenza preparedness, studies on immunizations systems and emergency preparedness, and a study to evaluate Knowledge Attitudes and Practices of health care providers in India regarding routine immunization and polio-related supplementary immunization activities.

The following synopses can be used to generate questions for direct examination or re-direct of the expert forensic psychologist you have retained. Also, this information may be used as a database to develop questions for examination of the opposing counsel's expert. Most jurisdictions adhere to the doctrine that a false confession will be judicially decided based upon analysis and consideration of the totality of the circumstances, which means police conduct, defendant's conduct, and other circumstances.
All psychological tests and procedures mentioned below meet or exceed both Frye and Daubert (FRE 2001) admissibility standards. A detailed list of references mentioned below is available; this list is not all inclusive.

Beginning in January, the Pleasanton Library will offer free classes for individuals who have never had the opportunity to learn how to use email or go online.
It's likely that at least several readers of this column have never used a computer or have become uncertain when trying to use a computer. If this is you, the library wants to help, so don't be too shy to register. The classes will be held for one hour in the mornings on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and there are four one-hour classes in each series.
The librarians organizing these free classes have said that attendees will learn in a safe and nonjudgmental atmosphere how to stay in touch with loved ones through email and how to access Internet sites. Registration is free and can be arranged by visiting the library's reference desk or calling Merry Luskin at 925-931-3400, extension 4. The library is at 400 Old Bernal Ave. in Pleasanton.
Prose and Song: Speaking of the Pleasanton Library, a new opportunity is being offered for local poets, prose writers, and songwriters to "Raise Your Voices in Poetry, Prose and Song" on the second Monday of every month (excluding holidays).
In partnership with the Tri-Valley Writers group, the library is promoting this open microphone opportunity free of charge. Anyone interested in reading his or her poetry or prose or singing a song is encouraged to sign up between 6:00 and 6:15 p.m. in the library's large meeting room for a 5-minute time slot.
Because some subject matter and language may not be suitable for those younger than 16, this event is designed for older teens and adults. As a former poet laureate of Pleasanton, I can attest to the creative talent in our community. I have seen many new poets and story writers emerge with confidence in their work after attending open readings such as this one.
If you've been shy about sharing your work, now is the time to step beyond your shyness and come to the next reading, which will take place Jan. 13 at 6 p.m.
Police charity: This holiday season, the Pleasanton Police Officers' Charitable Foundation is once again giving back to the community with its annual Giving Tree Program. The foundation is collecting gifts for local families and seniors in need of care.
Local families and adults who qualify have been identified by the Senior Support Program of the Tri-Valley and the Pleasanton Unified School District. Community members, businesses and faith communities are asked to drop by and pick up a gift tag off the Giving Tree at the Pleasanton Police Department located at 4833 Bernal Avenue in downtown Pleasanton.
Each tag indicates what a specific family and senior have requested. For more information, contact dispatcher Betsy Jones at firstname.lastname@example.com or at 925-931-5100.

Smoke detectors are being credited with waking a sleeping couple during a fire that severely damaged their north Scottsdale house late Tuesday night.
The fire is believed to have started about 11 p.m. in the garage of the home in the area of 100th Street and Sweetwater Avenue, according to Adam Hoster of the Scottsdale Fire Department.
Hoster said the couple were awakened by smoke detectors and were able to quickly get out of their house. He said as many as 32 firefighters fought the fire.
Hoster said the damage was limited to the area where the fire started, and that it did extend to two rooms on the second story of the house just above the garage.
No injuries were reported, and investigators were trying to determined the cause of the fire, Hoster said.

We launched CharityJob in February 2000 at the start of the dot-com bust period. We grew to the UK's largest and busiest website for jobs in the sector in no time and have maintained that position for the past 9 years. The two founding directors worked for the sector for over 20 years between them and that's why we're passionate about what we do here.
One day in 1999 we thought,
"Wouldn't it be great if we could save charities millions of pounds by creating a job advertising platform that is both more effective and cheaper than anything else around? Of course it can only happen if we work in partnership with charities…"
That thought led to the birth of CharityJob.
Our mission is to help charities by saving them millions of pounds in staff recruitment costs.

Good basic pattern, and I am enjoying the knit! Here's the backstory…
Mindy texted yesterday evening, saying that Peanut cried when she had to take off her wet gloves (from the store) and put on Gramma's hand-knit mittens. Why? Because she likes "mittens like this" (see picture of her hands that Mindy sent with that message)…lol! So gloves it is!!! Super soft and warm using Cashmerino (sport wt.) at nearly the same gauge the pattern suggests for fingering.
Well, these look big to me…not going to reknit now. First I'll see how much too big they are, then adjust. For now, I'm going to knit a matching hat!
Mods: Cast on 40, twisted German, join to work in the round. 2x2 rib for 28 rows. Switch to stockinette stitch, Inc 2 on first round.
Knit 4 rows before starting thumb gusset. Inc for thumb on rows 5, 8, 11, 14. Slip 9+2 thumb sts to holder on row 16. Cast on 3 sts, and continue in st st until round 33 is finished.
On rnd 34 - knit to pinky, place non-pinky sts on holder. Work pinky finger over 10+2sts, for 18 rnds. Dec and bind off for top of finger.
Work 2 more rnds over remaining stitches.
Ring finger is 4sts from each holder, 3 from pinky, 2 in gap (total of 13sts). Work 23 rnds, dec & bo.
Middle fnger is 5sts from each holder, 3 from ring finger, 2 in gap (15 total). Work 28 rnds, dec & bo.

To keep track, let's divide the "things to investigate" list about House Speaker Ray Sansom into three categories:
The Job.
The Meeting.
The Building.
The first topic has gotten the most attention. The second is the most comical. Yet the third might end up being the worst.
The Job. On the day Sansom became House speaker in November, he was hired for a $110,000-a-year job at Northwest Florida State College.
The "part-time" job was not advertised. The parties denied it had anything to do with Sansom shoveling $35-million of public money toward the school in his previous role as the House's budget writer.
Sansom has resigned his school job effective Saturday. But who wants to bet against him being rehired later?
Can this deal be prosecuted? Florida law is pretty loose. It is not enough to say that X did Y and got paid Z. To prove corrupt intent, you practically have to have a signed contract titled, "Agreement To Pay Off A Guy."
As for complaints filed with the state Commission on "Ethics" (my sarcastic quotes), they are just as likely to result in yet another weak-sister ruling that No Law Was Violated.
The Meeting. Things descended into low-grade farce when the school's trustees met in March in Tallahassee, 150 miles away from their Niceville campus. The far-off meeting was advertised back home only a week in advance.
"It's probably the only way we can do it in privacy," school president Bob Richburg wrote in an e-mail to Sansom.
Ten months later, when questions started flying about the meeting, Richburg produced a reconstructed "record" of the event.
I have to admit, this notion of a reconstructed "record" is a useful one. I'll have to try it on my boss or somebody.
SHE: Did you really goof off at the racetrack all day?
ME: (typing hastily) Wait! I'll show you the minutes!
The Building. If there were a crime called "sticking stuff into the budget to help your buddies," heck, the whole Legislature would be in jail.
But the $6-million that Sansom got for a "training facility" at Destin Airport for the school to train emergency workers goes beyond that. Abuse of the state budget seems like a good place for investigators to start.
The "training facility" turns out to be the spittin' image of an aircraft hangar that was desired by a friend of Richburg's and Sansom's who owns a company called Destin Jet.
To hear everybody tell it, the fact that this "training facility" is exactly what the jet-airplane guy wanted, on exactly the spot where he wanted it, is just a coincidence.
The jet guy's wishes weren't "consciously on my mind," the speaker explained last week.
Good grief! Some people accidentally lose their keys; the House speaker accidentally builds aircraft hangars.
With the heat on now, the jet guy isn't using the building. But the deal says when the school stops using the place, he has "first priority" to acquire the improvements.
One, two, three little topics for investigators.
Sansom predicts he will be found "clean, innocent." And, what the heck, maybe he will be. This is Florida.
Still, I wonder how the members of the House — who made Sansom speaker by acclamation, whose consent keeps him in the post today, and who gave him a standing ovation the other day — plan to defend their judgment.

A YEAR after the bedroom tax was introduced there have been renewed calls for it to be scrapped.
The law,known officially as "under-occupation" regulations, is designed to free up space in council homes by encouraging tenants to move to smaller properties.
If a tenant who receives housing benefit has a spare bedroom the money they get is reduced. Critics have slammed the policy for making people's lives a misery and forcing them to cut back on other vital expenses, such as heating or food.
The Secretary of Swindon Tenants' Campaign Group has said it is time for the law to be repealed as it is not having any real effect.
He said: "Contrary to the propaganda of the Government and the mass media, living on benefits is not a 'lifestyle choice.' "More and more people in work depend on benefits to get by. Given the increase in precarious employment, including 'zero hours' contracts, more and more people struggle to scratch a living from month to month.
"That's reflected in the Housing Benefit figures for Swindon. "The latest available figures show that in the year up to February 2013 the number of new Housing Benefit claims was 5,480. The number of ended claims was 5,560. "This reflects a situation where people are on and off of benefits regularly as their circumstances change."
Martin says the policy is simply not having the desired effect because there are not enough smaller houses for people to move into. Although he says there are more small houses in Swindon than in many other towns, it is still not enough for all the families which need to downsize.
As a result he says people are suffering as they struggle to make up the cash elsewhere.
"Despite all the stories of human misery and tragedy related to the 'bedroom tax' over the course of the last year, this shameless Government refuses to accept that this is a failed policy," said Martin. "It has been reported that only six per cent of tenants nationally have downsized. "Even a government Minister, in quibbling over this figure, could suggest no higher than eight per cent. It's high time for the bedroom tax to be abandoned."
North Swindon MP Justin Tomlinson defended the policy, saying it was helping families trapped in smaller council accommodation move into bigger properties.
He said: "This is crucial to making sure family sized homes are prioritised for families. For those who oppose this I challenge them to speak to the families trapped on the housing waiting list, living in accommodation too small."

Diversion Reservoir - 2012 Survey Report
Prepared by Tom Lang and Robert Mauk
Inland Fisheries Division
District 2-E, Wichita Falls, Texas
This is the authors' summary from an 18-page report. For a copy of the complete report, use the download link in the sidebar.
Fish populations in Diversion Reservoir were surveyed in 2013 using gill nets. Historical data are presented for comparison purposes. This report summarizes the results of the survey and contains a management plan for the reservoir based on those findings.
Reservoir Description
Diversion Reservoir is a 3,491-acre impoundment located in Archer and Baylor counties on the Wichita River, a tributary of the Red River, approximately 30 miles west of Wichita Falls. It was impounded in 1924 and is jointly owned by the City of Wichita Falls and Wichita County Water Improvement District No. 2 and is operated primarily for irrigation. In February 2009, Diversion and Kemp Reservoir above it began service as a secondary municipal water source for the city of Wichita Falls.
The Waggoner Ranch, based in Vernon, Texas privately owns the land surrounding the reservoir. Vehicle and boat trailer access is through a single tollgate on the northeast side. On January 1, 2009, a $15 per person fee for a three-day pass was instituted. Also on January 1, 2009 annual permit fees were raised from $200 to $500. The reservoir elevation is consistent, varying not more than three feet a year except for 2012-2013 when the reservoir reached 5 feet below normal pool caused by the severe drought and elevation conditions at Kemp reservoir, which feeds Diversion. At this elevation, the lone boat ramp is unusable. Diversion is relatively shallow, with moderately clear water. Protective cover in littoral areas includes standing timber and submersed vegetation as observed during the 2012 habitat survey. During the winter/spring months of 2001-2013 the fishery was adversely affected by toxic golden alga blooms resulting in significant losses of game fish and a reduction in angling opportunity
Management History
Historically important sport fish included Channel Catfish, White Bass, Largemouth Bass and White Crappie. Fingerling Florida Largemouth Bass and Channel Catfish were stocked in 2005 in response to golden alga fish kills.
Fish Community
The 2012 electrofishing and trap net surveys could not be conducted because low reservoir elevation made launching a boat impossible. A 2013 gill net survey was completed as scheduled.
- Catfishes: Blue Catfish were not sampled in the 2013 gill net survey. Their population has shown a steady decline in abundance since toxic golden alga first affected the reservoir. Channel Catfish abundance was good being one of the highest catch rates observed for the reservoir. A length range of 18-26 inches was sampled in 2013.
- White bass: No White Bass were sampled during the 2013 gill netting survey, just as in the 2009 survey. It is uncertain what the population status is at present.
Management Strategies
Continue monitoring the reservoir for golden alga. Survey the reservoir every four years.

EXCLUSIVE MP3: J Roddy Walston and the Business
The rowdy Southern rockers offer up "I Don't Wanna Hear It," from their sophomore album.
J Roddy Walston and the Business' self-titled debut album, out July 27, is full of spirited and sweaty Southern rock, and with its joyous oh oh oh ah backing vocals and buoyant boogie rhythm, "I Don't Wanna Hear It" is the collection's purest-party starter — but its lyrics paint a defiant picture that started in a troubled personal moment.
"I wrote this song in the middle of a bad downward spiral," says singer-pianist Walston, of the Baltimore-based band, who were one of SPIN's must-hear bands at this year's South by Southwest festival. "It was one of those times where you hate everything good and you're just trying to be a dark animal…. i wrote the lyrics for the bridge after overhearing some friends discussing how i 'had lost what was special about me.'" In the song, Walston pleads to be allowed to feel unhappy, even if that displeases those around him.
Download the track below, and keep an eye out for the band, who are on tour till the end of August.

|Special Providence
|Written by Peter J. Leithart
|Monday, 10 October 2011 06:05
Walter Russell Mead, Special Providence: American Foreign Policy and How It Changed the World. New York: Routledge, 2002.
Walter Russell Mead has a nose for the obvious. A professor at Bard College, contributor to many journals and newspapers, and erstwhile Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, Mead sniffed out something noisome in the standard account of American foreign policy. According to many foreign policy professionals and scholars, the U.S. has no foreign policy tradition. Until the twentieth century, the US lived in innocent isolation, and now that it's entered the world stage its democratic institutions inhibit it from being a successful player.
If that's true, Mead wondered, how did thirteen embattled colonies, over a scant few centuries, expand over an entire continent, establish its military, economic, and cultural presence in every corner of the globe, and become the undisputed hegemon running the first global civilization in history? Bismarck had an answer: There is a special providence for drunks, fools, and the United States of America. Fortunately, Mead finds this unsatisfying, and Special Providence is the highly readable result.
Mead finds, for starters, that the United States does have a foreign policy. In fact, he discerns four distinct schools of foreign policy coexisting and combating each other almost from the start. Before we get to those schools, though, we should pause to consider Mead's explanation of American ignorance of the history of American foreign policy. He offers a twofold solution to this puzzle.
First, many foreign policy intellectuals are schooled in a "Continental realist" strain of foreign affairs. Forged in the struggles of European powers, this tradition emphasizes state-to-state relations, assumes a Hobbesian international order, virtually ignores economic policy, and despises democracy. Continental realists have an "auteur" rather than a "studio" view of foreign policy; the foreign minister is "a dark Bryonic hero: Brooding, silence, and bearing vast responsibilities," manipulating pieces on a real-life Stratego board. From a Continental realist perspective, whatever it is that US Secretaries of State do, it doesn't rise to the dignity of real foreign policy.
Second, the Continental realist bias came to the fore in American international affairs during the Cold War. The Cold War produced two myths, one about "Them" and the other about "Us." The myth about "Them" was that communism was a united and determined movement aiming at global conquest. Mead is not soft on communism, but he believes this myth was "never very accurate." The myth about "Us" is the myth of "innocent isolation." Early in our history, we kept pretty much to ourselves, and that worked. With the rise of the Soviet bloc, however, the world has become more dangerous and more complex, and we can no longer indulge the naïve moralisms of childhood. Early American foreign policy has nothing to teach grown-ups.
In a densely packed opening chapter, Mead disposes of the myth of isolation. One sentence gets the gist: "Virtually every presidential administration from Washington's to Wilson's sent American forces abroad or faced one or more war crises with a great European power." Mead is not against myths, which can serve as shorthand for history and provide clear guidance for policy. To be useful, myths need to have some relation to reality, and Mead demonstrates that the isolationist myth utterly fails in this regard.
Now, to those four schools, each named, sometimes anachronistically, for a major American political figure. "Hamiltonians" place business and economics at the center of foreign policy. They use government power to promote American business interests at home and abroad, and are not adverse to using force to ensure that the world's economy serves American interests. Wilsonians are the moralists of American foreign policy. They aim at a global "international community" or "family of nations," governed by international law or, as in recent history, by global NGOs (Non-Government Organizations). American values and institutions are for everyone, and Americans are obligated to promote our universal values elsewhere.
Despite their different motivations and goals, Hamiltonians and Wilsonians are internationalists. The other two schools are more concerned with the effects of America's international activity on life at home. Jeffersonians believe that the main goal of American foreign policy should be to protect liberty in the U.S., not to spread it to the rest of the world. They worry about "military-industrial complexes" that might undermine domestic freedom. Jacksonians believe that government exists for the protection of the governed. Both domestically and in foreign policy, American should use its power to provide physical security and ensure prosperity for American citizens. Honor is a central value for Jacksonian cowboys, and when American honor is assaulted, Jacksonians make war with the fullest fury they can muster. The American military is packed with Jacksonians.
Hamiltonians say, "The business of America is business," and fashion foreign policy accordingly. Wilsonians want to make a "world safe for democracy." Jeffersonians want to preserve the American experiment in liberty. The Jacksonian slogan is, "Don't Tread on Me." Thus, for example, on Iraq: Hamiltonians might advocate invasion to protect a flow of oil to the U.S.; Wilsonians might support the war for moral reasons, to deliver the Iraqis from tyranny and bring them the blessings of American-style democracy; Jeffersonians would worry more about Homeland Security and the TSA than Iraq; Jacksonians would dismiss the moral concerns of Wilsonians (terrible as Iraqi tyranny might be, it's not our business), but they would be willing to go to war to ensure that the oil-saturated American way of life can be preserved. Mead knows his scheme is an oversimplification, a "myth" if you will. But it is an illuminating myth.
Though one or the other of these schools has gained the upper hand at different times in American history, all have been represented in some fashion from the beginning. One of Mead's main arguments is that the jostle of these schools, and the apparent inefficiencies of democratic processes, actually account for America's foreign policy success. Given the way our government works, most laws and policies represent a rough consensus of American opinion and ambition, domestically and internationally. Mead thinks that America needs all four schools, though he confides at the end of this history that he thinks the Jeffersonian stance is especially important as we enter the twenty-first century.
Mead pulls his punches. For the most part, he draws a veil delicately over American atrocities, and when he finally acknowledges them in detail with a numbing list of civilian deaths at American hands, he concludes, feebly, that our enemies were worse. (Outrageously, he compares the killing of "five picnicking Sunday School students and their teacher" by a Japanese balloon-bomb to the fire-bombing of Tokyo.)
Still, Special Providence crackles with insights and startling facts: American Presidents before World War I had far more international and military experience than Presidents since. The single most important event of the early twentieth century was the transfer stewardship over the world system from Britain to the U.S. Mead spends a fair chunk of the chapter on Wilsonianism examining the massive influence of American missionaries on American foreign policy. Its central theses are persuasive and could hardly be more timely.

Architect: David Mansfield, David Mansfield Architecture & Design
Conceived initially as a simple pool house for guests, this "modern barn" developed into a serene retreat that takes advantage of its dramatic riverside location. Low maintenance, high life-cycle materials like zinc-magnesium roofing, cedar siding, polished concrete heated flooring, aluminum-clad Marvin wood windows and high-efficacy mechanical systems were used to meet stringent energy and aesthetic requirements. Inspiration came from a Yankee barn. The Douglas fir barn frame with galvanized steel cable ties and turnbuckles makes reference to the structure's bucolic rural Connecticut location. Natural materials, flexible interior spaces, simple, honest design elements and the emphasis on diffused light and subdued colors reference the client's love of Japanese culture. The Marvin windows and doors chosen by the architect created a focal point that brought this modern barn concept to life. Barn doors became screen doors and a classic lean-to became a modern window seat with a dramatic cantilevered roof and mullion-less corner window.

Kurt Busch 2014 driver profile
January 27, 2014, NASCAR.com
RELATED: 2014 Sprint Cup Series driver profiles | Register for 2014 NASCAR Fantasy Games
Redemption might not be Kurt Busch's word of choice to describe his 2013 season. The 2004 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion nonetheless proved to any and all comers that his talents remain undiminished since parting ways with Roger Penske after the 2011 season. Busch's gifted driving helped make Furniture Row Racing's No. 78 Chevrolet SS the first single-car team to qualify for the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. Although the team went winless, its 11 top-five finishes and one pole showcased his talents. Those results prompted Gene Haas, co-owner of Stewart-Haas Racing, to sign Busch for 2014 before obtaining a sponsor, expanding SHR to a four-car team.
The 2012 season was a major challenge for Busch. He started the year in the No. 51 Phoenix Racing Chevrolet owned by James Finch; his first season he was not part of a major, multi-car organization since his NASCAR Sprint Cup debut with Roush Fenway Racing in 2000. His best finish came at Sonoma Raceway where he wrestled a damaged car to a third-place finish. Busch joined Furniture Row with six races remaining in the season and posted three consecutive top-10 finishes.
Six years at Penske Racing produced 10 NASCAR Sprint Cup victories. In five full seasons with Roush Fenway Racing, Busch scored 14 victories and the first championship under the Chase format in 2004. Jack Roush brought Busch to the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series in 2000. He won Sunoco Rookie of the Year honors and finished second to teammate and champion Greg Biffle with four victories -- still a series freshman record. Busch also counts five NASCAR Nationwide Series victories as well as the 2003 IROC championship.

Capsule Reviews
"John Hartley and Ernesto Marenco" John Hartley takes tiny figurines -- of soldiers, sailors, nurses, bakers, Batman, Aunt Jemima, the Boy Wonder -- and paints large oil portraits of them. His models are made from plastic, tin or ceramic and are in various states of decay. A soldier's paint-chipped face stares into the distance, its roughly cast features rendered with loving detail, and cast-off toys and bric-a-brac become individuals. Hartley's paintings have a softly blended, photorealistic feeling to them. In the back area of Rudolf Projects/ArtScan Gallery, Ernesto Marenco's tiny, surreal constructions are on view. In one sculpture, a paintbrush hangs on the wall, but instead of bristles, it features a cascade of long, dark hair. In pointed religious works, Marenco turns a rosary into a slingshot and attaches a suitcase handle to a Bible. Marenco's Insecure is a small, simple piece that speaks poignantly about frustration and inadequacy; it's a big safety pin Marenco rendered useless by cutting the pin part down to a tiny nub. Through November 26. 1836 Richmond, 713-807-1836.
"Restless: Interaction of Core Program Artists and Houston Artists in Early 1990s" For anyone involved with the Houston art scene during the early '90s, "Restless" will be a nostalgia rush. For everyone else, it's an interesting look at the edgy work of Houston artists from a decade ago. Mark Flood has lately been doing lush lace-patterned paintings in vivid colors, but ten years ago he was making smartass silk-screened paintings that boldly questioned art and commerce. Among them was his silk screen of an MFAH membership letter from Peter Marzio eagerly touting the joys and benefits of museum membership. For another work, Flood sold ad space and silk-screened the ads onto the canvas. Advertisers included a GWM personal ad, the Art Guys, Smoke 'n Toke, the Menil Collection and the Houston Press. Then there are Jenny Silitch's hysterical and pop-culturally incisive videos, in which she spoofed the then-nascent world of home shopping by selling a lifelike baby, touting its many features and its superiority to actual babies. Also on view is video of her stunt from the early days of talk shows, in which she donned a wig and bluffed her way onto a show with a made-up tale of a love triangle. Two other artists posed as her male and female lovers; the producers and audience were completely duped. Through November 27 at the Glassell School of Art, 5101 Montrose, 713-639-7500.
"Robin Utterback" Robin Utterback is having his first Houston solo exhibition since 1996. The artist just completed a residency in Strasbourg, France, and is back with a whole new crop of work. In his current paintings, Utterback has used dark twill fabrics on stretcher frames instead of canvas. They create a novel ground for nonchalant abstract forms that feel like riffs on ornamental shapes. His paper works are some of the most interesting in the show. An eight-foot work pieces together sections of paper and swatches of canvas in a loose quilt of images. On another wall of the gallery, Utterback arranged a collection of pieces that use found scraps of paper, cardboard and newspaper. The paper works are simple and unfussy, many with masklike cut-outs and chalky accretions of paint. Utterback has a loose but skillful hand with his imagery and materials. The show marks a pleasant return for the artist. Through November 26 at Barbara Davis Gallery, 4411 Montrose, 713-520-9200.
"John Hartley and Ernesto Marenco"
"Thornton Dial in the 21st Century" Thornton Dial's art is dynamic, intense and cut with social and political references. He builds up the surfaces of his paintings not with paint but with detritus. Meat (2003) has an undulating surface painted in raw, visceral pinks and reds; it's constructed from wads of clothing attached to a panel and coated in thick gloopy paint that shines like marbled flesh. It's a brutal work; the surface feels violent, like flesh and bone have been ripped apart. In the upper-right part of the painting is a tiny rectangle of red-and-white-striped fabric with a dark brushed outline that looks like an American flag. It's attached to the carnage of the painting like a product label: Made in the U.S.A. In addition to the artist's constructions on panels, this show includes drawings and freestanding sculptural works. All in all, there are 78 works, all done since 2000. The number and strength of works Dial has created in five years is impressive. Although his approach to materials remains consistent, his ideas and subject matter are continuously evolving. Overall, the work resists becoming formulaic and repetitive, a danger with high-productivity artists. But there are less successful works in the show -- ones that feel overworked and could have been edited out for a tighter presentation. What Dial really needs is a retrospective. It would be wonderful to see the evolution of his work. The man is pushing 80. Through January 8 at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 5601 Main, 713-639-7300.
"Wesley Heiss: Suburban" Wesley Heiss has used just about every square inch of the Glassell School of Art's upstairs project space for his installation Suburban. Stuffed in the red-painted room is a big gray inflatable figure, partially inflated. To experience the installation, you squeeze past it and stand on an "X" along one wall. Suddenly the flaccid figure begins to inflate, crowding you into the space. Move off the "X" and it stops. Step back on and it starts again. The figure is of a dog, lying on its side, its head in the corner next to you. While the act of stepping on and off the "X" is comic, there's also something pathetic about the rising and falling dog with its face hidden in the corner. In Suburban, Heiss has made used-car-lot decor poignant. Through November 22. 5101 Montrose, 713-639-7500.

Miguel at Billboard Music Awards
Video: Miguel Talks Mariah Carey, Sexy Logic Behind "#Beautiful," and More!
Before Miguel crash-landed on fans during the 2013 Billboard Music Awards and became one of the most replayed moments of the whole night, the breakout star was on the blue carpet with us. Miguel reveals what it was like collaborating with Mariah Carey, why the hashtag in the new song "#Beautiful" is so sexy, and relives the first time he heard his music on the radio.

My name is Matt and I am 28 years old. My girlfriend and I have two beautiful little girls, who love the farm life just as much as I do. I was introduced to the farm life when I was very young. I grew up on a small dairy farm in Cornville, Maine. Cornville is a small town with a very close community of neighbors who are always helping each other. Growing up on a dairy farm hasn't always been easy. It was actually a lot of work for all of us. Those hard times have taught me many life lessons, for which I am grateful because they have proven beneficial in my later years. I am thankful for the hard, earnest life that farming has showed me and I wish to provide that life for my family as well. We hope to get established as a dairy farm, and later on expand to a creamery where we can market our own products such as cheese, raw milk, as well as grow a garden to offer local and fresh produce that is affordable for all families.
Ouellette family dairy is a small organic dairy farm located in central Maine. We have roughly 42 milk cows and ten young stock at this time. We milk our cows twice daily and are currently shipping our milk to Organic Valley. We started trying to purchase our dairy farm roughly 3 years ago, with many failed attempts. After doing some research we found some great investors who understood what we were trying to do, and were willing to help us get started. We started farming on our own July 31, 2014 and couldn't be happier. I was raised on a dairy farm my entire life and fortunately have a great girlfriend and two little girls who share the same passion for cows and work that I do. In the future, we would eventually like to have a creamery and a road side vegetable stand where we can sell our products locally at a price every family can afford
The Kiva Zip loan would be used to fix some of the many things that need desperate attention and repair on our farm. Here is a brief breakdown of what we would use the funds for.
– 1000.00 Ground Work- We need to have gravel delivered and level out the entrance/exit for our cows, we need them to be as comfortable as possible. We also need to replace all of our fencing as it is no longer up to par.
– 1000.00 Mold Remediation- The farmhouse was in very rough shape when we bought it. We need to remove and replace all areas that were contaminated with black mold. The farmhouse will serve as a home/office so we need it to be safe for all to enter, so that we are able to be at the farm at all times.
– 2500.00 Barn Repairs- Our barn needs quite a bit of work to have it outlast harsh weather conditions.
– 500.00 Farm Equipment – We do not have any equipment which makes things very difficult and time consuming.
We have our work cut out for us, but when you love what you do it makes things much easier! We appreciate you taking the time to look at our page!

Pac-Mania in Brazil Indiana?
At first glance, I thought that there was an original Pac-Mania for sale on Craigslist really close to me here in Indianapolis. If I wanted, for just $200 and an hour drive to Brazil I could pick this game up. But the listing made me look twice and laugh a little at the sellers naivety. (more…)

What we make matters.
Where others say, "It can't be done," we invest in innovative product design and manufacturing processes that keep waste out of landfills, improve closed loop recycling and reduce environmental impact. Enabling you to stand on a better world and find choices that work for your residential and commercial projects.
LOOP™ - what's old is new again
Billions of pounds of used flooring finds its way to landfills each year. To help, we launched LOOP™, which recycles old flooring into new. We take used flooring (Carpet Tile, VCT…) and recycle hundreds of tons of it each year into brand new flooring products that contain post-consumer recycled content, such as Relay™RE, Infinity®RE , and VCT.
VCT Reclamation
Mannington's innovative environmental initiative to reclaim and recycle post-consumer vinyl composition tile (VCT). Partnering with various reclamation companies and VCT end-users, Mannington has been reclaiming post-consumer tile recovered during the renovation of major regional facilities that are large end-users of VCT since 2008. As part of Mannington's LOOP reclamation program, the construction waste is delivered to Mannington's manufacturing facilities in Salem, New Jersey, where we recycle the tile and incorporate it as post-consumer content into several premium tile product categories, typically at a steady rate of 2%. In 2012 we celebrated a milestone of recycling well over 20 million pounds since inception.
Drywall to Flooring
When we learned about the massive amounts of drywall choking landfills, we redesigned our Premium Tile products to incorporate pulverized gypsum which is claimed from regional construction sites.
Vinyl alternative carpet backing that does more than promise – it performs
rEvolve, our closed loop recyclable thermoplastic olefin modular carpet backing, contains over 40% recycled content including a minimum of 10% post-consumer. Designed to be fully recyclable without the enormous expense of energy required for other carpet backings, rEvolve also meets rigorous Mannington performance standards, which we ensured through extensive testing prior to launch.
Premium rubber flooring
Our premium rubber performs beautifully as floor tiles, wall base, stair treads and finishing accessories. Launched in 2009, we are already pursuing ways to incorporate recycled materials into this product line, as part of our goal to include significant recycled content in every Mannington Commercial product.
Engineered Hardwood – a more efficient use of resources
Our beautiful hardwood floors use less natural resources (and are more durable) than solid wood floors, because instead of cutting planks out of each log, we peel them into sheets, which are bonded together in cross-grained layers, making it less susceptible to warping, cupping, buckling, and other problems. Our wood floors are engineered to use half as many trees as solid wood floors, with more renewable species used for inner piles.
New, improved inks
Our chemists developed new ultra-low VOC inks that reduce energy and eliminate the use of solvents, yet outperform other inks. Other water-based inks can contain volatile organic compounds, so we knew there had to be a better way.
Dematerialized construction flooring
We have developed products with lower face weights, dematerializing the product and reducing shipping weight, while still performing to our standards. The tighter loop delivers the same amount of cushioning, noise-reduction and durability while allowing for easier maintenance.
Rapidly renewable bamboo
Few plants grow as fast as bamboo. This grass is ready to harvest in about five years, and needs little fertilization or pest control. Add in strength and durability, and Mannington Bamboo is a natural hard-surface flooring choice. The planks are similar to those of hardwood, and the bamboo comes in a vertical or horizontal pattern, and in dark and light color choices.
70% recycled content laminate
Laminate is a popular choice because of its great performance on the floor, but it also has superior environmental attributes. The core of laminate flooring is high-density fiberboard made from sawdust, wood shavings and other wood waste from saw mills and log processors – which is recycled and compressed into the dense fiber board core. Mannington's finished laminate product is generally over 70% recycled content by weight. The visual for our laminate is printed with water-based inks; the durable finish coat and adhesives are low VOC content. In fact, our laminate has been certified for indoor air quality per California Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) guidelines, third party certified to the FloorScore IAQ program, and complies with California Air Resources Board (CARB) I and II.
Beautiful carpet made from scrap yarn
ArtCraft™ and ArtWorks™ offer innovative solutions to using scrap yarn. Both collections are about doing the right thing inside and out--a beautiful visual on the cover and a real reason for the content. The ArtCraft Collection is made entirely of post-production yarn--yarn that in the past might have been sold and downcycled, and ArtWorks™ builds on those ideas and technologies and is made entirely of post-production type 6,6 nylon that would otherwise have been downcycled.

(topic was a lure)
Hello people. It has been about 45-50 days. I hope everyone is well. Let me just jump right into it. I am sorry for what occured a couple months back. I was speaking more out of rage than anything else. A few of you know me well enough by now to determine my bullshit level without me trying to sell you something. But in explanation anyways...
I dont support needless killing, but I have been in the war business for over 18 years. When they played the video I was furious. Not only did it attack my country it attacked what I train the US military to do for a living. It was calling me and everything about me bad. I was more "bomb iran" in comment then I was in heart.
I don't want little FN babies to die and all that...and you are retarded if you think so. I was simply pissed. Around that time every political thread was anti American spoken by a bunch of non Americans. I couldnt even look in the forum without seeing something anti my-religion or anti my-country. This is not a free country, this is a privately owned web site. Censorship should have been used. A personal attack against one's nation should be considered as a personal attack against one's self (which is illegal by forum rules).
I am not the first American to state "drop the bomb on them" without thinking it through.
I dont care though I am not back as before and didn't plan to be back in the lounge. I am on everyday to work on my epub collection and was bored so I figured I would get on and say hi to the new members. I still use the site, that never changed.
The point is I would appreciate it if people would not jump on the threads again and pick a fight over what happened 45-50 days ago. If you want to hate me then hate me, just do it quietly please. No mean PMs either please.
All old friends please feel free to drop me a line if you would like.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The replacement "Kiss" statue on the downtown San Diego waterfront was dedicated during a special ceremony Saturday.
The 25-foot-tall bronze sculpture arrived from New Jersey on Monday and was permanently installed Wednesday.
The dedication ceremony at the G Street Mole across from the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. and include unveiling the statue, a presentation of new cherry trees donated by the Japanese Friendship Garden Society of San Diego, and a renewal of vows by several couples married during World War II.
A "Salute to Heroes" festival is scheduled at the adjacent Navy Pier beginning at 11 a.m. Among other things, the festival will include stations where donations can be made to the San Diego Food Bank and San Diego Humane Society.
The statue replaces "Unconditional Surrender," the 6,000-pound sculpture by J. Seward Johnson that was loaned to San Diego from 2007 to early last year. That statue is owned by the Santa Monica-based nonprofit Sculpture Foundation and was taken from San Diego to New Jersey for restoration.
The original is made of a foam core with a urethane outer layer and is susceptible to weather damage, while the replacement is made of more durable bronze.
Both the original and the replacement evoke the famed 1945 Life magazine photograph taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt in Times Square in New York when the end of World War II was announced, although Johnson said the work was actually based on a similar but less well known depiction of V-J Day in Times Square taken by Victor Jorgensen.
Edith Shain, a former Los Angeles schoolteacher, claimed to be the woman in the photograph. She attended the unveiling of the original statue in San Diego and appeared at other local events before she died in 2010 at age 91.

Municipalities shared best governance practices and experience of cooperation with UNDP in LvivDec 12, 2012
Within support of UNDP/MGSDP the community-based and citizen-centric approach to local development is introduced in partner municipalities. The Municipal Support Units have been established in all partner municipalities and the capacities of MSU staffs are constantly developed through training, exposure visits and consultations.
Oleksandr Alipov, First Deputy Minister of Regional Development, Construction and Housing and Municipal Economy of Ukraine welcomed the participants in a video appeal.
Volodymyr Khomko, Rivne City Mayor, Chairman of the National Forum of 29 partner municipalities of UNDP/MGSDP welcomed the participants :"Such projects are very important for changing the mentality of people. People feel the taste to implement something jointly with local authorities and achieve positive results. If people realize that they can and want to cooperate and local authorities are eager to help, then there would be different society in Lviv and Rivne".
According to Elena Panova, UNDP Deputy Country Director, UNDP cooperation with Lviv will continue. "We believe that Lviv can become a resource city for sharing its experience with other cities of Ukraine in the field of monitoring, oversight on the administrative services provision. A new joint project of UNDP and Lviv City Council will be launched under support of EU on administrative services provision to increase the capacity of SCOs to provide monitoring and oversight on administrative services provision".
Oksana Remiga, UNDP Senior Programme Manager presented UNDP priorities in the area of local development and decentralization and vision of MGSDP perspectives for 2013-2015.
Iryna Skaliy, Project Manager described the achievements of the UNDP/MGSDP in 2012 and plans for 2013.

The Big Easy is prime cocktail territory - they even have a museum dedicated to them. Drinks are rightfully consumed there morning, noon and night, including classics like the Sazerac (pictured here) and the Ramos Gin Fizz, and up-and-comers like the Hand Grenade and the Hurricane. If you can't make it to NOLA anytime soon, you can still enjoy their drinks. Our comrades at Liquor.com have an ever-handy recipe guide to the best Big Easy drinks, delicious especially when it's extra hot outside.
Ramos Gin Fizz
Contributed by: Allen Katz
2 oz Gin
.5 oz Heavy cream
1 oz Fresh lemon juice
.5 oz Fresh lime juice
1 tsp Sugar
3 Dashes orange flower water
1 Fresh egg white
Glass: Collins
The secret to this drink is to shake, shake and shake some more. Add all the ingredients except seltzer to a cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Shake vigorously until the drink is as white as fresh snow and as smooth as a cold glass of milk. Strain into a Collins glass and top with cold seltzer. Stir before serving.
Contributed by: Jim Meehan
Absinthe (Vieux Pontarlier)
1 Sugar cube (Demerara or white)
3 Dashes Peychaud's Bitters
2 Dashes Angostura Bitters
2 oz Rittenhouse Rye Whiskey
Lemon peel
Glass: Rocks
Rinse a chilled rocks glass with absinthe. In a separate mixing glass, muddle the sugar cube with both bitters. Add the rye and ice, and stir. Strain the mixture into the rinsed rocks glass. Twist a lemon peel over the surface to extract the oils and then discard it.
This recipe is adapted from William Boothby's World Drinks and How to Mix Them.
Timmy's Brandy Milk Punch
Contributed by: John Besh
1 cup Brandy
3 cups Milk
3 tbsp Powdered sugar, plus extra if needed
1 tsp Vanilla extract
Grated nutmeg
Glass: Tall
Put all the ingredients into a blender and fill with ice. Blend for 20 seconds. Taste and add more sugar if necessary. Strain the mixture into glasses filled with fresh crushed ice and serve. This recipe serves four people.

Waterloo 26, Bradford & Bingley 11
Bradford & Bingley travelled to Merseyside to face a side who began the day one place higher and five points in front of the Wagon Lane men in SSE National League Three North.
Expectations were high that the Bees might be able to return with a winning bonus point to close that gap and also lift themselves further away from the relegation spots as they had won at Waterloo on their previous three visits.
The optimism in the visitors' camp seemed to be justified in the first minute as Brett Mitchell intercepted a pass in his own half and galloped through the Waterloo back line.
He did not have the legs to go the distance himself, but Richard Tafa came bursting alongside in support and beat the final defenders to the corner.
After that initial burst, however, the Bees never seemed to engage their higher gears and delivered a surprisingly flat and disjointed performance where even the forwards failed to set their usually dominant platform in the tight.
The home forwards are one of the few packs to have given as good as they got this season and perhaps it was this inability to take the upper hand in the tight exchanges which stopped the Bees from finding any rhythm.
The home side did not take long to get back into Bees territory and were rewarded with a penalty on eight minutes, slotted by leading scorer Liam Reeve.
The Bees lost stand-in scrum half Ben Greaves to the sin bin at this point, and while they were a man short the home side made hay as Tom Holloway crossed but could not convert his own score on 14 minutes.
Bradford & Bingley then held firm in defence and made inroads into home territory as the half-hour approached, and a penalty from Matthew Robinson was their reward which levelled the scores.
However, as happens too often, the Bees relaxed after the score and Waterloo were almost immediately on the scoresheet again as Jacob Allen crossed to put his side five points clear.
The conversion was missed but the Bees were next on the scoreboard as Robinson added a three pointer, and at 13-11 the game was still very much in the balance.
With their next visit to Bees territory, the home side stretched the lead by a further three with a penalty, and then again on the hour mark as Reeve slotted another kick.
As the game moved into the final ten minutes, it was imperative that the Bees found any kind of score to be within seven of their hosts and at least claim a bonus point.
Quite the opposite happened though as Waterloo stretched away through a Liam McGovern try and conversion to pull 15 points clear and wrap up the win.
With Birkenhead Park, the team immediately below Bradford & Bingley, winning away from home, the gap between the Wagon Lane men and that final relegation spot has now shrunk to eight points, and although the Bees are very much in control of their own destiny still, it makes a win against bottom-side West Hartlepool next Saturday imperative.
