From the Bay to El Lay
The Dodgers took 2 out of 3 from the Giants!
Friday: 10-3
Saturday: 9-7
Sunday: 2-7
Friday 9/11: Our warrior Hiroki Kuroda gave us 8 strong innings.
Casey (at the bat) Blake returned from five games off with a three RBI homerun!
Dodgers own Matt Cain. He is 0-7 lifetime against the Dodgers while Hiroki Kuroda is 5-1 against the Giants.
Saturday 9/12:
Vicente Padilla improved to 3-0 since joining the N.L. West turning in six solid innings.
Russell Martin & James Loney homered on Saturday. These two are heating up! Torre needs to keep James (ballgame) Loney in a grey uni. All his homeruns (12) have been on the road.
Sunday 9/13. Ahhh the matchup of Chad Billingsley and our old pitcher Brad Penny who really, really (haha remembering Jane's book "An Ex To Grind") wanted to "beat LA".
You see Penny left the Dodgers on not so nice terms. For one, the Dodgers didn't believe Penny last season when he said his shoulder was hurt, and he didn't take that very well. After Penny signed with the Sox he let the Dodgers know how he felt.
Then Larry Bowa responded.
"You mean the same guy (Penny) who was never on time, out of shape and has one complete game? He has more stuff to worry about in the A.L. East than me. He has to worry about getting people out. He was never on time, was out of shape and never helped the kids out. Put that on the (expletive) dot-com. Put it in the headline."
Upon his arrival to the Giants Penny met with the media, and one reporter asked him about pitching in front of 42,000 Dodger hating fans. Penny interrupted the reporter, then corrected him; "You mean 42,000 and one."
Vin Scully mentioned Sunday that Larry Bowa and Penny met behind closed doors.
Penny did beat the Dodgers 2-7 but heck the important thing is that the Dodgers took the series!
I am really, really worry about Chad Billingsley. Like Vin Scully said "the mistery of Chad continues." Chad has struggled big time in the second half.
Dodger Homestand:
The Pirates are in town starting tonight!.
The matchup is McCutcheon against Jon Garland.
Tonight is also
Free Dodger Dogs for everyone! We never had this promotion before, so let's see how this goes. I understand that they will hand out coupons to everyone.
Let's Go Dodgers!
Magic Number is Sweeeeet 16!! Andre Ethier's Number!

Sheeesh… finally, we get a patsy in the house : ) The Pirates might be just what the doc ordered for the Blue Crew.. a sweep and Colorado fighting with the Giants… wouldn't that be sweet?
I can't believe it that we are barely seeing the Pirates now for the first time! yeah, let the Rockies and Giants fight it out. You know Colorado has to also play the Cardinals.
Wow, the poor Giants! Haha, just kidding. The Dodgers and the Padres have been on quite the roll! That is soo cool that you guys get free Dodger Dogs. Sounds good🙂
Congrats on beating the Giants in the series. Sorry to hear Chad has been having a rough time though. The good news is that the Dodgers are stacking up wins again. Free Dodger Dogs for everyone? That's a whole lot of hot dogs. Wow.
I don't know why they say the NL West is weak. Detroit would be in 4th place in our division. We'll see how crazy it gets with the free Dodger dogs.
Thanks! Always good to beat on the J-I-N-T-S. Chad is being a huge rough time. He is a big enigma. The Stadium averages 40,000 in attendance so let's see how many we get tonight. I am curious to see what the final number of hot dogs they will serve, free and paid. There is also the section in the Right Pavilion that has AYCE.
thanks for the support emma. I'm excited for listening to this series. ill watch it on tv but listen online for the cast by Vin SCully. i love his presentation of the classic side of the game. good luck to the dodgers, when they come to Pittsburgh next weekend ill be going to the games. good luck this series!
Freaking love Dodger dogs night!!
It is a fun time for everyone!
WEll, I mean I haven't been to Dodger Stadium, but in Cleveland we have dollar dogs night, where it is like the same thing.
Yay, go Dodgers Dog night,
hope you have fun.
Ted's Take
Good to read you again. I just saw your latest post. I printed it and will read it at the stadium. You know Vin only does the first three innings on the radio. Do you do the MLB Audio or TV. I only have the audio since I use that while I work when my Dodgers are away.
Hey Ted,
A friend here at work who's name is also Ted, said that the Dodgers sell like 25,000 Dodger dogs a game. It will be interesting to see how many they shell out. I was just telling another friend that will be at the stadium. He told me "is a good thing you are telling me because my family does not eat Dodger dogs so I'll have to eat them myself. " I LOVE grilled Dodger Dogs with relish and mustard!
Got to tell you, just the thought of a FREE Dodger dog has me salavating for some good, old American beef weiners right now.
What a great offer, heck I have always wanted to try one of those Chavez Ravine specialties of the house.
Still, it was awesome that you helped your own cause this weekend by pushing back the Giants.
That will put a dent in their plans for a post season berth, and also give you some breathing room right now.
Seems like the team is beginning to peak at the right moment.
Rays Renegade
The first Dodger dog of a homestand tastes so goooood and tonight was no different. In fact, it tasted better. Yummmy. About the 7th inning this guy was telling me "Hey Emma, this guy here says they ran out of Dodger dogs here." I told him to go to the Reserved one level down but I was thinking afterwards "why is he asking me?" It was funny. Russell is starting to hit and also Raffy and Loney, although Loney is on the road that he does well.
I hope you enjoyed the free dogs and I'm glad that Kuroda had a good outing.
Dodger dog was excellent! Kuroda is such a warrior. First play in the minor league after getting hit was a come-backer.
Just saw the schedule for next year! Dodgers at Fenway Park! I want to go! I want to go!!
tell Ted I said hi Emma!!
How did the game go?
And how many dogs did you down?
I hope you say "alot."
Good luck in future Dog nights,
I know I will be attending at the Pro if there are any soon. =)
I hope so keepin the fingers crossed.
New post up. =)
Ted's Take
Hi Emma, thanks for writing in my blog, and let me tell you I'm a Dodgers fan too.
Come on to my web and socials page and play w/ us.
Hi Rafael,
Well good to know you are also a Dodger fan. they are not making things easy for them and us fan ha? I'll go and check out that website.

The previous article dealt with specifying the memory management errors that are common in C++. Now that you are aware of these errors, the next question is how to keep them out of your code. The answer, of course, is software engineering. If you are expecting a moralistic tirade about how software developers are a bunch of young, reckless, ignorant kids who turn out terrible code because they do not follow proper procedures, you are about to be disappointed. While it is possible to create effective procedures for engineering, engineering itself is never about procedures.
Bureaucracy, in and of itself, is not necessarily harmful, as long as it is confined to a supporting role. The problem with any kind of rules and procedures is that they tend to assume a primary importance. Soon, following the rules is the only thing that matters, no matter how horrible the result. For an eloquent description of the consequences, read Richard P. Feynman's outstanding "What Do You Care What Other People Think?" [Fey88].
If engineering is not the act of following a procedure, than what is it? First and foremost, engineering is design, and design is ultimately about dealing with errors. The fundamental need to deal with errors is recognized in every engineering field except software.
Actually, the critics of software development bear a great deal of responsibility for the current state of affairs. While they decry the generally poor quality of computer programs, these critics nevertheless promote the view that software should be flawless. In their view, it is only the impure programmer that ruins the ideal of the perfect program. This sort of archaic idealism makes engineering literally impossible by its failure to recognize that software exists in the real world just like anything else that people build.

C++ In a Nutshell
Unfortunately, it is beyond the scope of this article to discuss the overall merits of various philosophies, the important lessons that things like Godel's Incompleteness Theorem can teach us about computer programs, or even the reason why software errors are inevitable (it has to do with trying to sustain exponential growth with resources that can only increase linearly). Nevertheless, one very important, practical point must be made. You need to accept that software errors will happen (yes, even in your code), then design to minimize their severity and impact just like real engineers do.
Understanding the C++ memory mechanism will allow you to move beyond identifying specific errors in your code (covered in the previous article) and begin to engineer such errors out of your system. This knowledge will also help you combine various memory handling techniques (presented in the next article) into a coherent design.
Since C++ does not provide an automated memory management system, every program is responsible for both allocating and releasing any memory that it needs. This idea is commonly expressed as a relationship of ownership. Each chunk of allocated memory belongs to a clearly identifiable part of the program (typically an object) which is responsible for freeing that memory when appropriate. The concept of memory ownership is used to create a comprehensible, ordered design for what would otherwise be a chaotic, error-prone program.
Memory ownership focuses on managing the deallocation of memory, preventing leaks and especially dangling references. Memory allocated in one part of the program might subsequently become the responsibility of another part. This is called transfer of ownership.
Ownership is a very useful idea in thinking about your design. When you allocate memory, you must decide who owns it (i.e., which part of your program will ultimately be responsible for freeing that memory). Good judgment here will go a long way toward preventing memory leaks and dangling references.
By far the most important aspect of memory ownership is that it must be consistent. If you have an object that is handling some memory, every method of that object's class must be based on the same assumptions about the ownership of that memory. If one method is written as if the object itself owns the memory while another assumes that the memory is owned by something else, disaster will follow.
It actually turns out that the classic
dangling reference scenario illustrated in the previous article is
really a case of inconsistent memory ownership. In the example, the
destructor frees some memory that is used by
SimpleString, a
clear indication that
SimpleString objects own the memory.
Unfortunately, no copy constructor or assignment operator consistent with
this view of ownership is provided. Instead, the C++ compiler is allowed
to generate the default versions of these methods. The defaults just copy
the pointer member of
SimpleString as if some other part of
the code were responsible for the memory. The
destructor, of course, assumes otherwise; a dangling reference is the
The next article in this series covers a number of techniques for memory management. As you read read about these methods, however, keep in mind that successful memory management with C++ demands consistency of ownership for everything that you allocate.
Consider this innocent-looking piece of code.
Example 1 — a surprising result: the Code
try {
Surprise surprise;
//Catch all standard exceptions.
catch (exception& e) {
cout << "caught an exception of type "
<< typeid(e).name() << endl;
Here is the output that this code produces on the author's system.
Example 2 — a surprising result: the output
caught an exception of type St9bad_alloc
Not so innocent, after all, but why does it throw a
bad_alloc exception? Such an exception can only result when
an attempted memory allocation fails, but there is no call to
new in the code sample given.
The answer, of course, lies in the class
Example 3 — the
class Surprise {
char* huge_cstr_p_;
//See the Training Wheels Class in article three of this
//series for an explanation of these declarations.
Surprise(const Surprise&);
Surprise& operator=(const Surprise&);
Surprise::Surprise() : huge_cstr_p_(0) {
//Try to allocate an absolutely gigantic buffer.
huge_cstr_p_ = new char[2000000000];
Surprise::~Surprise() {
delete [] huge_cstr_p_;
Surprise tries to allocate a very large amount of memory,
which results in an exception when
new fails. Clearly,
memory allocation is a side effect.
In general, programmers are taught to avoid side effects for the very
reason just illustrated: side effects surprise the users of your code.
While dynamic memory allocation cannot always be avoided, it is important
to be aware that hidden allocation inside classes is a side effect. When
you allocate memory, the user suffers a loss of control. In this example,
only a local object of class
Surprise was created. The user
of your class might specifically want to avoid allocating from the heap at
this point in the program, but you force her to do so.
Before allocating memory, consider alternatives that might be available. The following list provides several suggestions.
Allow the user to supply her own buffer (e.g., as a parameter to the constructor).
Use a member object instead of a pointer to a dynamically allocated object.
Strictly local objects that are used only for the duration of a method call should be declared as automatic variables.
Use an allocator object to get the memory, and allow the user to specify his own allocator.
Allocators are commonly used in the C++ standard library as well as other libraries. An architecture that supports allocators allows a great deal of flexibility in memory management. The strategy used to allocate memory can be changed by replacing allocators, leaving the rest of the program intact. In particular, if the users of your class are allowed to supply an allocator of their choice (e.g., through one of your class's constructors) they can implement their own memory management strategy to work together with your code.
Using member objects is a much more basic technique which can improve your code in several ways. With a member object, there is no longer a need to allocate memory in the constructor or free it in the destructor. If an exception leaves your constructor, the member object will be properly destroyed. As an added bonus, the default copy constructor and assignment operator work correctly (unless the member object's class contains bugs related to copying or assignment). On the other hand, a member object becomes a fixed part of your own object; you cannot delete it separately and then allocate another copy.
If you need to use an object temporarily inside a method call, declare it with an automatic (i.e., local) variable. Automatic variables are, as the name implies, automatically created and destroyed with no need for any intervention by you. Using such variables for transient objects is much less prone to error than explicit allocation and deallocation. In addition, automatic variables are created on the stack, which is typically a much more efficient process than getting memory dynamically from the heap. Most importantly, these stack-allocated variables do not surprise your users. After all, you are expected to create local variables for loop counters, array indices, etc. A local object, unless it is very big, is really the same sort of thing.
One important general consideration is to avoid requesting a lot of
memory where it is not expected. This applies both to dynamic allocation
and to the alternatives described here. For example, while objects of a
class named
BigBuffer may be ten megabytes in size, such
Character objects are rarely a good design. A ten
Character, even if it does not perform dynamic
memory allocation itself, still requires at least ten megabytes of
storage. A user would be very confused if creating a thousand
Characters caused an out-of-memory condition.
Keep in mind that memory allocation is a side effect, and try to avoid surprising your users. In some cases, it is even worthwhile to make users allocate their own memory, either directly by requiring a buffer or indirectly by mandating an allocator. At other times, it is better to provide default behavior (e.g., a default allocator) while allowing other options to be specified. Often, using member objects to avoid additional allocation (although the member objects themselves might allocate) is the best solution due to its inherent simplicity. Transient objects that are local to a method call are best declared as automatic variables. If you really must allocate behind the scenes, then do so, but consider how it will affect your users and whether at least allowing an alternative would be of benefit.
When working with C++, memory management is just another part of the system you are building. All features of C++ are available to implement your memory management scheme. Allocator objects, mentioned previously, are an example of delegating memory allocation to a specific component of the overall program. Smart pointers are another useful tool; they are really objects that act like pointers (smart pointers are covered in the next article).
The key concept is that memory allocation, although critical, is not
special. You don't need to call
new directly every time you
need memory. It is far better to create a set of classes that will be
responsible for supplying memory to the rest of your program. Thus, memory
management becomes just another subsystem that you build. Not only does
this allow you to easily change the way you use memory without affecting
the rest of your code, but it is also much easier to debug. If there is a
memory leak, or you suspect a dangling reference, there is one clearly
defined, specific place for you to search for errors.
Both this article and the next present a number of techniques concerning memory management. Don't look at these techniques in isolation, as little code snippets to spread throughout your program. Rather, consider them as building blocks for your own memory management subsystem. With this attitude, you are well on your way toward turning C++ memory management from unwelcome drudgery into a powerful tool to improve your code.
The methods and principles of C++ memory management are readily applicable to other types of resources. Common examples include open files, network connections, and locks on shared data in a multithreaded program. These resources can also leak, such as when a program creates sockets but forgets to close them. Likewise, errors similar to dangling references can happen with other resources as well (e.g., corrupting a shared data structure because the lock on it has inadvertently been released).
These generalizations extend beyond C++. Memory-managed languages (such as Java) will mostly take care of the memory, but you must typically handle other resources (such as open files) by yourself. Thus, consistency of ownership, the side effects of resource allocation, and the need to specifically address resource management in your design are all relevant, even in memory managed languages.

With regards to C++ itself, its tools for resource management are exceptionally powerful. After all, C++ is a complex, highly expressive language which nevertheless makes you responsible for managing your own memory. It needs a powerful toolset to allow you to deal effectively with such a fundamental resource.
For example, memory-managed languages typically lack a reliable
destructor. Since the language takes care of the memory, you should not
often worry about what happens to unused objects. They are simply cleaned
up by the system eventually. Unfortunately, if you want the unused object
to close a file, the most common recourse is to write an explicit
close method, and then remember to call it. This solution is
hardly elegant and is also highly prone to errors. On the other hand, the
destructor of a carefully written C++ class will take care of the open
file automatically.
Powerful resource handling primitives is one reason why C++ is such a great choice for user-space servers. These servers are often very complicated, having to deal with multiple network connections, open files, and a number of subsystems shared by several threads. Given an environment where correct operation requires precise, efficient control over so many different resources, C++ has a distinct advantage over the other mainstream languages.
The next article continues this discussion by presenting several key resource management techniques that you can incorporate into your own designs. While the presentation focuses on memory management, the techniques are, of course, applicable to many other resource types.
This information appears in the previous article. It is also included here for your convenience.
A number of very useful resources are available regarding C++. Notes on these resources are provided here (the Bibliography itself follows).
First, you need a book with broad coverage, which can serve as an introduction, a reference, and for review. Ira Pohl's C++ by Dissection [Poh02] (for which the author of this article was a reviewer) is an example of such a book. It features a particularly gentle ramp-up into working with the language.
In addition to a book with broad coverage, you will need books that focus specifically on the most difficult aspects of the language, and present techniques to deal with them. Three titles that you should find very valuable are Effective C++ [Mey98], More Effective C++ [Mey96] (both by Scott Meyers) and C++ FAQs [Cli95] (by Marshall P. Cline and Greg A. Lomow). There is also an online version of the last title.
The key to reading all three books is not to panic. They contain a great deal of difficult technical details, and are broken up into a large number of very specific topics. Unless you are merely reviewing material with which you are already familiar, reading any of these books from cover to cover is unlikely to be useful.
A good strategy is to allocate a little time (even as short as 15 minutes) each day to work with any one of the Meyers' books or with C++ FAQs. Begin your session by looking over the entire table of contents, which, in all three books, has a very detailed listing of all the items covered. Don't ignore this important step; it will take you progressively less time as you become familiar with each particular book.
Next, try to read the items that are most relevant to the current problem that you are trying to solve, ones where you feel that you are weak, or even those that seem most interesting to you. An item that looks completely unfamiliar is also a good candidate: it is likely an important aspect of C++ that you are not yet aware of.
Finally, when you want insights into bureaucracy, tips on what to do with your icewater during NASA meetings (answer: dip booster rocket O-ring material into it), or just a good laugh when you are frustrated with C++, try Richard P. Feynman's "What Do You Care What Other People Think?" [Fey88].

Sea Island Golf Club â Seaside and Plantation Courses
Sea Island, Georgia
November 20-26, 2004
SEA ISLAND, Ga. â Two players came charging out of the gates during the first round of the Polo Golf Junior Classic with rounds of 62 and 66 respectively. Mina Harigae of Monterey, Calif., set the competitive course record on Sea Island Golf Clubâs Seaside Course and tied an all-time AJGA record-low score with an 8-under-par 62. Meanwhile, on the Plantation Course, Arnond Vongvanij of Bradenton, Fla., fired a 6-under-par 66 to lead the Boys Division.
The Polo Golf Junior Classic, conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, is in its 27th year of showcasing the premier talent in the world of junior golf. Past champions include Aree Song (2001), Spencer Levin (2001), Casey Wittenberg (2000), Hunter Mahan (1998), Beth Bauer (1995, 1997), Grace Park (1994, 1996), Tiger Woods (1991), Stewart Cink (1989), Vicki Goetze-Ackerman (1988, 1989) and Heather Farr (1979).
This yearâs field features 175 players from 35 states and eight foreign countries (Canada, China, Japan, Mexico, Paraguay, South Africa, Spain and Sweden). Ninety-seven of these players were honored as Rolex Junior All-Americans based on their performances at the national level during the 2004 season.
The tournament is being played on Sea Island Golf Clubâs Seaside and Plantation Courses for the first time in tournament history. The par-70 Seaside course is playing to 6,946 yards in the Boys Division and 6,057 yard in the Girls Division. The Plantation Courseâs par-72 layout is playing to 6,966 yards in the Boys Division and 6,126 yards in the Girls Division.The event consists of 36 holes of stroke play, after which the field will be cut to the top 32 boys and 32 girls. Match play will then determine the champion in each division. The Plantation Course will be used during both rounds of stroke play and the first round of match play. The Seaside Course will play host to the first two rounds of stroke play and all five rounds of match play.
Harigae, a 15-year-old high school sophomore, recorded eight birdies during her record-tying round. This run included consecutive birdies on Nos. 13-16. Harigae, whose previous lowest competitive score was a 69, holds a four-shot lead going into Tuesdayâs final round of stroke play. The phenomenal run started early as Harigae birdied the first hole by sticking her approach shot to two feet and tapping in the birdie putt.
âI only missed one fairway and hit all the greens,â Harigae said. âI just hope I didnât use up all of my birdies for tomorrow.â
Jacqui Concolino of Orlando carded a 4-under-par 66 on the Seaside Course and sits alone in second place. Rolex Junior Player of the Year Julieta Granada of Asuncion, Paraguay, is in third place after shooting a 2-under-par 68 on the Seaside Course.
In the Boys Division, Vongvanij recorded eight birdies and two bogeys while building a one-shot lead going into the second round.
âMy short game and putting was good today, but I was hooking my driver,â Vongvanij said. âAt least it was consistent, so I just played off of it.â
Vongvanij, also a 15-year-old high school sophomore, is well on his way to achieving his goal of making it into the match play portion of the tournament.
âThis is a really big tournament to me,â Vongvanij continued. âI tried to focus on every single shot today.â
Standing alone in second place is Roberto Galletti, Jr. of Clayton, Calif., after recording a 3-under-par 67 on the Seaside Course. Mu Hu of Shen Zhen, China, is in third place after carding a 2-under-par 68 on the Seaside Course. Three players, including Juan Pablo Solis of Morelia, Mexico, James Lee of La Habra, Calif., and Greg Forest of Palm City, Fla., are tied for fourth place after shooting 69s, all on the Seaside course.
Tee times will begin Tuesday at 7:30 a.m. off the first and 10th tees of both the Seaside and Plantation Courses.

What is happening on December 21? Those not suckered by the hype will enjoy a Friday like any other. Mockery of the so-called Mayan Apocalypse is becoming one of the Internet's favorite pastimes.
Our collection of jokes starts with this one, which is not so much a joke as a useful infographic:
Ok, Maya, Aztec... as much as these are important factual distinctions, we won't let them get in the way of a few good jokes. Like these:

I am exclusively breastfeeding my 34 week son who is now 5 weeks old and gaining weight great.
The other night i went out and my husband cared for him for one feed, giving him my pumped milk. We have a medela cup and a syringe, but frankly those would take forever for him as he takes nearly 4 ounces, but he did have some "nipple confusion" that evening later with a chewing motion...the nipple is so easy for him...too easy really. We were using a orthodontic nipple (?Mead)
Does anyone have any advice for those situations where I am away so as to minimize confusion?

General Electric (GE) CEO Jeffrey Immelt has received heavily mixed reviews since US President Barack Obama named him chair of the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness early this year. Critics need look no farther than GE itself to dig up the Immelt controversy. Plus, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate is holding at 9.1 percent, with little indication that it will improve in the near future.
"Not since the Great Depression has unemployment been this bad for this long," said Leslie Stahl in her introduction to a 60 Minutes segment Sunday. "One of the reasons is that US companies have gone abroad for their workers and their profits. Over the last decade, big American firms have cut around 3 million jobs in the US while adding almost as many overseas."
Immelt has been unapologetic about GE's global business and its jobs outside of the country. In fact, 60 percent of the company's revenues come from its overseas businesses. However, GE is building manufacturing plants in the United States. In addition, GE is adding about 15,000 jobs in its home country, and half are manufacturing jobs.
"I'm a complete globalist," Immelt said in the interview with Stahl. "I think like a global CEO. But I'm an American. I run an American company. But in order for GE to be successful in the coming years, I've gotta sell my products in every corner of the world."
Monday's Wall Street Journal article title reveals the hot seat on which Immelt sits: "Tea-Party Attacks Put GE on Defense" (subscription needed). The Tea Party and others criticize GE for its low federal tax bill in 2010, a joint business venture in China, moving jobs overseas, and more.
"GE has created more jobs overseas in the last decade than it did at home," writes Kate Linebaugh. "GE employs more people outside the US than within the country. Its US employment dropped by 16 percent over the previous decade to 133,000 jobs at the end of last year while overseas employment fell by 2,000 jobs to 152,000."
Immelt collaborated with President Obama to create a $447 billion jobs package. Now both men have spent the week working to sell the plan. It remains unclear whether Immelt's position with GE will be of benefit or detriment to their efforts.
The politics of sourcing GE's tough position isn't altogether unique. Companies face tough sourcing decisions all the time. While offshoring and outsourcing remain hot topics, the decision making behind offshoring traditionally was driven by labor costs, which seemed stable enough. However, with the recession and the subsequent loss of jobs, rising fuel prices, and a higher level of awareness regarding sustainability and labor practices, there's a whole new level of complexity associated with locating plants and sourcing.
The World Café at the 2011 APICS International Conference & Expo will explore the sourcing crossroads operations and supply chain management professionals face. With so much that is outsourced, many decision makers and political leaders are talking about bringing it back "home"—home-shoring; on-shoring; and, to some extent, near-shoring. In this complex global business environment, operations and supply chain management professionals must be prepared to make the best decisions today and into the future. The interactive format of the World Café enables participants to advance their knowledge of the topic and better prepare for difficult business decisions in the future. Join us in Pittsburgh Tuesday, October 25, at 8 a.m. for this important and popular event.

Idea Shop 1
1 Welcome
Click an item from the Shop Views on the right to take a tour and discover how we took a 14x28' bare-bones room and outfitted it into the sensational, feature-filled woodworking center shown here. At the end of each description, we've noted the issue that particular project was featured in.
Idea Shop 1 is packed with some pretty nifty features, such as a concealed dust-collector system with drops, plenty of natural and fluorescent lightning, adaptable storage projects you can build, and lots, lots more.
2 Universal wall cabinet
We used wall-hung cabinets like this one to organize drill bits, hand tools, safety equipment, lathe tools, power tool accessories, and just about everything in between. The cabinets went together quickly, and didn't cost an arm and a leg. The acrylic door panels in the doors allow us to spot our well-organized tools in a jiffy, and keep the dust away from them too. The slotted backs enable us to build custom holders for our tools and position them exactly where we want. See the Forstner bit holders for just one of our many storage solutions. (Featured in the September 1992 issue.) Also can be found in the Best-Ever Workshops magazine.
Forstner bit holders
We customized the cabinet nearest the drill press for all our drilling and boring accessories. Here's the handy holders we use to keep our Forstner bits close at hand. (Featured in the September 1992 issue.)
Click below to review this detailed woodworking plan and download it now or have it mailed directly to you.
3 Lumber storage rack
Space savin' and wall huggin' pretty much sum it up for this project. Our rack features adjustable supports that attach to vertical 2x4s for holding loads of boards. The unique sheet-goods bin lets you easily sort through heavy sheets and slide out the one you want. There's even between-the-studs storage for short stock and dowels. (Featured in the November 1993 issue.)
For information on downloading these plans, click below.
4 Finishing center
When we designed the IDEA SHOP, floor space was at a premium. That's why we decided to go with the wall-hung cabinet shown here. It features a fold-down worktable that rotates on a lazy Susan bearing, allowing you to apply an even coat of finish on all sides of your project with repositioning it. And, a support arm attached to the cabinet door lets you do the same with small projects or parts. When we're done for the day, we just lift up on the worktable, stash it back in the cabinet, and close the door. (Featured in the February 1994 issue.)
5 Chisel rack
Simple but sturdy, this free-standing holder proudly displays our chisels and protects their finely honed ends. We also designed it so you can leave the feet off and screw it to the wall, or add a mounting strip and include it in one of the universal cabinets. (Featured in the October 1992 issue.)
6 Swing-arm support
Here's a handy hangout for our motorized rotary tool. The motor end of our rotary tool stays up and out of the way and the flexible-shaft and business end are close at hand with this convenient swing-arm support. We centered ours over our next-to-the-wall workbench where we do lots of carving. (Featured in the December 1992 issue.)
7 Drill-press dust collector
Wood chips and sawdust don't stay around long when we hook up this clamp-down collector to our shop vacuum or dust collector. (Featured in the February 1993 issue.)
8 Bandsaw blade holder
To protect and store our bandsaw blades in as small as space as possible yet keep them close at hand, we added this plywood organizer to the base of our bandsaw. If your base is different, simply mount the holder to the wall or the side of a cabinet. (Featured in the April 1993 issue.)
9 Workbench
For this simple-to-build and superstrong workbench, we relied on lumberyard stock and rugged mortise-and-tenon joinery. The 30x60" benchtop of laminated maple will handle a lifetime of workshop activity. We added benchdogs and a bench vise to expand the usefulness of our workbench, making it a fitting centerpiece in our shop. (Featured in the September 1992 issue.)
For information on downloading these plans, click below.
10 Shop stool
If you're one of those woodworkers who spends every spare minute working in your shop, you're going to love this stool. We've found the padded seat a joy to sit on (and after an hour or two of sitting on it, we're darn glad we padded it). With the special height-adjustment system designed into it, we can raise or lower the seat to suit the height and the surface we're working at. (Featured in the September 1992 issue.)
11 Air filtration cabinet
Even with the best of dust collection systems, you can reduce airborne dust in your shop only so much. And, if you're in a small shop like IDEA SHOP 1 or one with poor ventilation, it doesn't take much sanding to raise a cloud of fine, harmful sawdust. To help such lung-clogging dust capture particles, we designed and built this air-filtration cabinet. We made the cabinet so the top is just slightly below the top surface of our IDEA SHOP tablesaw. The cabinet top adjusts up or down if needed, enabling it to double as a handy outfeed table. (Featured in the October 1992 issue.)
12 Clamp rack
We solved our clamp-storage problems once and for all with this fine collection of wall-hung helpers. Not only do they keep all our clamps at arm's reach, they look darn good doing it. (Featured in the September 1993 issue.)
Click below to review this detailed woodworking plan and download it now or have it mailed directly to you.
13 Cutoff catchall
Designed to hold cutoffs and other short pieces upright, this handy organizer allows us to see at a glance what stock we have available. And, its wall-hugging profile takes good advantage of limited shop space. (Featured in the December 1993 issue.)
14 Pipe-clamp storage
This simple-to-build project has proven to be the heavyweight champ of pipe-clamp racks. We built it out of 2x4 stock and some 1/2" steel rod. We angled the steel rod at 5° to prevent the clamps from sliding off the fronts of the rods. (Featured in the June 1995 issue.)
Click below to review this project now, and print the plan for free.
15 Coat rack
What do we do when it's time to hang up the shop coat or apron at the end of the day? We hang them in style on this C-clamp coat rack that's right at home in our woodworking shop. (Featured in the October 1992 issue.)
16 Workshop clock
Though a good woodworking project makes us forget about time, no shop should be without an appropriate clockpfor telling when the glue's dry or supper's ready. This tool-topped timepiece begs to be noticed and has served as a conversation piece among our woodworking friends. (Featured in the September 1992 issue.)
17 Sanding-supply center
Wanting to keep all our sanding supplies in one location, we came up with this smooth solution. It includes holders for belts, sanding discs and accessories, stick sanders and strips, hand sanders, and rolls of adhesive-backed sandpaper. (Featured in the November 1992 issue of WOOD.)
For information on downloading these plans, click below.
18 Additional Views
The compound mitersaw station sees a lot of action, so we built blade and jig storage above for it and for the tablesaw too. We also added a cabinet-length table extension and fence, and made a handy pullout scrap bin beneath the saw.
Tired of searching for clamps? In our IDEA SHOP, we keep a full line at the ready on one wall, with a specialized holder for each type. The bandsaw, drill press, and scrollsaw are also right at home parked next to the wall. Note the universal cabinet to the right of the drill press. We've customized it with holders to hold all our bits.
Continuing the workstation concept, cabinets near the lathe hold turning tools and protective equipment such as a face shield and respirator. Note the portable dust pickup behind the lathe and the mobile base that the lathe sits on.

brothers in NY ...... not so bad.... if zech play 50 percent that marbury play, its very good!
Stephon & Zech (pronounced Zack) Marbury are both capeable of taking the Knicks PG position to another level. If Zech makes the team then the Knicks games will feel like Stephon is on the court the whole game. Listed at 6-foot-3 and 205 pounds, Zech is an inch taller and about 20 pounds heavier than Stephon. "I think he's a little bit better passer than me. As far as agility and speed and quickness and shooting the jumper and getting to the basket, it's pretty much the same thing," says Zech about his older brother. "That's why I've learned from him all my life. That's what I was raised on. It's like the Barry brothers. They were all raised learning how to shoot, to be great shooters. That's due to their father (Hall of Famer Rick Barry). Three years younger than Stephon, 24-year old Zech owns one of the most varied resumes on the Knicks' summer squad. . .along with the most familiar name. Following two years at Rhode Island - during which he averaged 16.3 ppg and 3.0 apg and earned Atlantic 10 All-Rookie honors in 2000 - Zech was an early entry candidate in the 2001 NBA Draft. Amid an early entry class that included Tyson Chandler, Gilbert Arenas, Kwame Brown, Eddy Curry, Jason Collins, Richard Jefferson, Joe Johnson, Jason Richardson and Troy Murphy, Zech went undrafted. That began a three-year pro odyssey that has included stops with John Starks' Westchester Wildfire of the USBL, and the New Jersey Squires of the new ABA.
What do you feel about the twin Starbury's running the point?
brothers in NY ...... not so bad.... if zech play 50 percent that marbury play, its very good!
it would be great to see them on the same team.. problem is Zech hasnt been getting any burn in the summer league.. he probably has a small chance of making the team.. im still rooting for him though
hes not going to evan make the team and if he does he wont get burn cause either crawford or williams will be on the bench and zach aint better than either player
if the knicks get crawford and sign zech, the team will hava too many guards!
considering that all the trade talks mention norris and williams going,maybe the marbury bros would be good.in the summer leage though barret has been playing a little better{though not much} than zech.both arent really contributing much. so far itsbeen the sweetney show.
Look Frank Williams has nothing on Zech Murbury, he's just as good as Stephon. The reason you aint seen hime is because he wasn't himself, coming the bench for someone that sucks messes you up mentaly. I can't see how anyone can question the skills of Zech, his game is the most experienced of all the point guards on the Knicks roster. Zech realy didn't play the first summer leauge game and he played bad the second game. The third game he played a little more and he did better. That same night Zech had a long talk with Wilkens and went out and scored 10 points the next game. Barret played for like 60 min total in 4 games and only scored 8pts. Zech played like 28 min in 4 games and scored 12 points, 10 in one game. If your a true New York fan then you know Madison Square Garden is the hardest arena to play in, but there is another court that's harder to play on than MSG, THE RUCKER in the Heart of Harlem. You think Barret or Williams can play there, hell no. True NBA Ballers play there, players like the Marbury bothers who's on the Terror Squad Team at the Rucker along with Eddy Curry, Jamal Crawford, and Kareem "Best Kept Secret" Reid(Grizzlies' Summer Squad). Oh yeah if we get Crawford he's not going to be on the bench, Houston is. Crawford will start at SG.
the knicks are looking to trade FWill and Norris.. it might not be a bad idea to sign him.. this would also fill more seats in the Garden because of the Marburys.. its a long shot but i dont mind it happening, ive read that Zech can score as well as his bro but Steph is the better passer..
If the deal for Crawford goes down most likely both Frank and Norris would go with it, so I think signing Zech would be a GREAT idea. Plus I think I figured out why Isiah has/wants to include Moochie in the deal. He wants to clear enough room to sign Baker and Ariza. Anyways thats just a thought.
jhad66 r u retarded, u fuking dumbass if we get crawford hes gonna be playing at sf but theyre basically gonna run a 3 guard offense so crawford will be like a swingman....... as far as zech goes sign him and c what happens
Yo, read the rules for the forum. Stop cursing up in these forums!! Take it to the beefs.Originally Posted by pbjb14
One outta three ain't bad.
Zach definitely has what it takes to make it to the Knicks. Not just because he's Stephon's brother, but because he's a great player. He's improved significantly since our days back at Lincoln High.
AIM: Martine411
Even is Zech is as good as Marbury, he wouldn't help the team. If Zech was like AI, then it would help the Knicks, but if not it means nothing. Stephon is a great point guard but he isn't the same as he was before. The scoring Marbury is what the Knicks need to win. Marbury needs to improve his speed and penetration to the level of Iverson's th get anywhere. I have watched the past couple of 76ers and Knicks games, and Allen has a smoother dribble and is a better slasher. Marbury is a average shooter, which if you are a point guard, you must be good at. So in that case Zech would not help at all unless he is better.
Do you know anything about basketball??????????Plus whoever started this post back up needs a late pass. This is WAYYYYY to late.Originally Posted by IVERSON's3>Marbury's

My daughter is 5 days old, and seems to be doing great. we were off to a rough start in the hospital as far as nursing goes, as we had some positioning problems and i got EXTREMLY sore nipples that were bleeding and blistered. I was very very close to giving up until they gave me the nipple shield until my nipples were healed. They are feeling better now so i am not using the nipple shield anymore. DD has not had a problem weaning from this. Her latch has apparently always seemed right. She is a VERY sleepy nurser and i have to wake her up during the day for feedings, most times. The thing is, is sometimes she will go past 2-3 hours (not exceeding 4) and i cannot physically wake her up, i have tried EVERYTHING to wake her.Sometimes i will get her awake and she will only take 5 minutes on one breast and spit most of it up. Otherwise, she will nurse great when she wants to, usually every 3 hours. But it doesnt seem like she spends alot of time at the breast, usually 10 minutes on one side and 5 on the other. sometimes she will do 10 on both sides but never more than a 20 min feeding total. Is this ok? she seems satisfied and has a good output of wet/dirty diapers.. during the night i set my alarm clock for every 3 hours but she wakes up every 2 to eat anyway...by herself. But come morning/day time she will sleep LONG periods, and not always wake up. Im sure she would go 4 hours if i let her. i cant get her up before 3 hrs though, she just refuses to latch.
so, i guess thats alot of info, i will try and sum up my questions...
- Is it normal to only eat 10 minutes on one side, and 5 on the other at a feeding? Or even just 5 minutes on one side, and refusing the other?
- if she refuses to latch when the 3 hrs is up, should i worry, or follow her cues?
- are short feedings normal (no more than 20 minutes) and her going longer intervals during the day?
I think thats all, if you have anything else to add, please do!
Thanks so Much!

Traditional Christmas roast (oven-baked pork shoulder with honey, mustard and rosemary)
Photo by Juta Kübarsepp for the December issue of Kodu ja Aed magazine, 2012
What's your traditional Christmas roast (assuming you're eating meat)? Turkey? Goose? Duck?
In Estonia it's definitely pork, though roast poultry has become more popular during recent years. I've been flirting with roast goose and actually served duck leg confit on Christmas Eve this year. It was delicious.
However, for years I've been serving pork roast - a pork shoulder (kaelakarbonaad in Estonian) in a mustard-honey-garlic-rosemary marinade, to be more precise. I love that it's a pretty fool-proof recipe, simple to make, with lots of flavour. And - as an added bonus - any leftovers are excellent on top of rye bread on the days after the party, or as part of a salad. So if you're not making it for a big family feast, you can still make the same amount and simply make several meals out of it.
So here you go. Nami-Nami's traditional Christmas roast. On the photo above, it's accompanied by black pudding ('blood sausages') - another traditional Christmas dish.
Wish you all a lovely festive season!!!
Traditional Christmas roast
(Ahjupraad karbonaadist)
Serves about 10
2 kg boneless pork shoulder (Boston butt)
3-4 Tbsp honey
3-4 Tbsp Dijon mustard or Estonian Põltsamaa mustard
2-3 fresh rosemary sprigs (leaves only)
3 large garlic cloves
2 tsp sea salt
Finely chop garlic cloves and rosemary leaves, then mix with honey and mustard until combined.
Season the meat generously with salt, then spread the mustard-honey mixture all over the pork shoulder and massage into the meat.
Place the pork shoulder into a large ovenproof dish, cover with foil and place into a fridge or cold larder for 1-2 days.
Bring back to the room temperature about an hour before you plan to cook the meat.
If you have a meat thermometer, then stick it into the thickest part of the meat (you can do this through the kitchen foil).
Roast the meat in a pre-heated 160 C / 320 F oven for about 2,5 hours or until the meat thermometer has reached 82-85 C/ 180-185 F.
If you plan to serve gravy with your meat, then pour a cup of hot water into the baking tray half-way through the cooking.
When the meat is cooked, remove the foil, season the meat once more lightly with salt and then bake for another 10-15 minutes at about 200-220 C/ 390-425 F, just to brown the meat a little.
Remove the roast pork from the oven, cover again with a kitchen foil and leave to rest for 20-30 minutes before carving into thin slices.
Jõulud kodus ("Christmas at Home"), published in Estonian in November 2011.
I also included the recipe in the December 2012 issue of Kodu & Aed magazine.

185F for pork seems really high. I think they recommended 165 before and now reduced it to 145. I did 165 for my roast and it was definitely too dry...

Puhvis Kukk - for the loin filet, they recommend indeed about 65 C/150 F (indeed, a little pink is fine), but pork shoulder has usually higher temperature requirements - it's such a fatty cut and remains moist at higher temperatures as well. Chowhound etc recommend internal temperature of 180-190 F: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/649726 - I quote "The collagen doesn't break down till about 185, and the meat would get dried out at anything over 210.". So the recommended 185 should be just fine - or at least it has worked brilliantly for me for years.

Sealiha. Kaelakarbonaad vajab sealiha jaoks ebatavaliselt kõrge sidekoesisalduse tõttu veidi pikemat küpsemist ning sisetemperatuuri tõusmist 75 või isegi 80°-ni, sama kõrget sisetemperatuuri vajavad läbiküpsemiseks ka eelsoolatud ja -maitsestatud praed; muule sealihale piisab 70°-st. (Toidutare)

I am so pleased that I found your blog!!! My husband is estonian we live in the USA (we are moving to Estonia next year) and I always wanted to make estonian meals for him and my daughter,but never found a good source in english and if I translated myself they would get lost in translation and the results wouldn't turn out great… This year I am making the estonian dish you described in one of your posts… as well as the gingerbread cookies (which we make every year) I will, indeed, search for your book!!

My 13 month old DD will start day care on Feb 2012. She still nurses to nap (twice a day) and before bed time and during the nights. Other times she takes cow milk and solid (baby led solid). I don't know how to make her nap without my boobs My DH's tried several times to get her down for nap but it never works. She was waiting until I came back and gave her the boobs.
I don't want to wean now, just want her to nap at day care without me, when she's with me I still want to breastfeed her. She'll go to day care two day a week.
Any ideal how to do now? Thanks mamas.

Clotrimazole is an antifungal prescription medicine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of certain fungal infections, including tinea versicolor that is specifically caused by the fungus Malassezia furfur and candidiasis that is specifically caused by the yeast Candida albicans. The troche (lozenge) formulation of clotrimazole is approved for the treatment and prevention of only a certain type of candidiasis—called oropharyngeal candidiasis—in certain people with weakened immune systems. Clotrimazole is also available as an over-the-counter medicine for topically treating various skin infections, such as athlete's foot.
Oropharyngeal candidiasis (infection of part of the throat) is an example of mucocutaneous candidiasis (also called mucosal candidiasis). Mucocutaneous candidiasis is a Candida yeast infection that affects the skin and mucus membranes (such as in the mouth or vagina). Mucocutaneous candidiasis is an opportunistic infection. An opportunistic infection is an infection that occurs more frequently or is more severe in people with weakened immune systems—such as those infected with HIV—than in people with healthy immune systems.
The Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Opportunistic Infections in HIV-Infected Adults and Adolescents, prepared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the HIV Medicine Association of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA-HIVMA), includes recommendations on the HIV-related uses of clotrimazole to treat:
Before taking clotrimazole, tell your health care provider:
Ask your health care provider about possible side effects from clotrimazole. Your health care provider will tell you what to do if you have side effects.
Take clotrimazole according to your health care provider's instructions. Your health care provider will tell you how much clotrimazole to take and when to take it. Before you start clotrimazole and each time you get a refill, read any printed information that comes with your medicine.
More information about clotrimazole is available:

Premature despairJuly 30,2014
A dysfunctional Congress, combined with an array of interlocking international crises, has given rise to a historically low level of respect for the government by the American people. This disaffection has created the sense that the present period is one of the darkest and most troubled in our history.
It is true that congressional paralysis is virtually without precedent, and the sense of helplessness felt by the people runs deep, but history suggests that despair is premature. These are troubled times, but its hard to recall times that werent. We neednt gnash our teeth and rend our clothes just yet.
The period most often viewed as the American golden age was the 1950s, a time when the post-war economy experienced unprecedented growth. Servicemen back from the war were flooding into the job market as new opportunities opened up. GI benefits had provided many with a college education. The baby boom was in full swing, schools were going up across the country, highways were being built, new suburbs were expanding, salaries were on the rise.
And yet even that golden age was a time of turmoil. It began with the Korean War, which claimed more than 50,000 American lives. The first half of the decade was shadowed by the paranoia of McCarthyism. As the civil rights movement gained momentum, racial violence continued to claim lives, and President Eisenhower had to call out the National Guard to enforce the law.
In its aftermath, the period was seen as an age of conformity, when corporate America fostered a new kind of stifling middle class uniformity of thinking. In addition, subversion of foreign governments by the CIA notably Iran and Guatemala was sowing the seeds of future trouble.
Trouble in more recent decades puts our present problems in perspective. The 1960s saw great progress in civil rights and with social legislation such as Medicare, but it was a period of bloody racial terrorism in the South and burning cities in the North. Assassination claimed three great leaders. The Vietnam War divided the country more starkly than anything at present and claimed tens of thousands of lives.
As the 60s bled into the 70s, the American government descended into the criminality of Richard Nixon, his near impeachment and his resignation, plus the angry beginnings of the culture wars that still haunt us. Crime and disorder were making the nations great cities dangerous places, and the nation suffered several energy shocks, driving up prices and dealing serious blows to the economy.
The 80s began with the worst recession since the Depression, only exceeded in its severity by the recent Great Recession. Also, the Reagan administration set in motion a conservative anti-government movement that cripples the government still. Meanwhile, a criminal plot to secure weaponry from Iran to foster a reactionary rebellion in Nicaragua mired the American government in scandal.
A more recent so-called golden age occurred in the 1990s, a decade of sustained economic growth. But the bitterness of the politics became a prelude for the divisions of today. Republican hostility toward President Clinton gave rise to virulent whisper campaigns (that he was guilty of murdering his friend Vincent Foster, for example) and scandal-mongering that sought to elevate Clintons philandering into a constitutional crisis.
So when did we have a golden age? It wasnt the 2000s, a decade that begin with 9/11 and carried on through a sordid saga of war, torture and deceit.
Was it the Gay Nineties of the 19th century or the Roaring Twenties of the 20th century? Not for African-Americans or the working class. It certainly wasnt the decade of the Depression (1930s) or of World War II (1940s).
The present period of division and paralysis may be likened, perhaps, to the 1850s, a time when division became so severe that government was unable to act. The outcome was the Civil War.
Our failures today could lead us toward new troubles, which ought to be a warning. We have the capacity to shape our future if we choose. Our present isnt as bad as it could be.MORE IN CommentarySure, you can buy your uncle a necktie that he wont wear, or your niece an Amazon certificate...

Infused Water
Having fun with flavors
Water. A most basic ingredient for our survival. Among its many benefits — it is great for flushing toxins out of our bodies, perfect for carrying nutrition to the cells in our bodies and really valuable for keeping our ear, nose and throat tissues moist. Yes! I totally get it. I must drink tons of water each day. But to me — an utter foodie, perpetually craving to excite my taste buds — I find water so bland, tasteless and virtually unappealing. (There! I admit it!) And consuming it in some caffeinated, carbonated or sugared-up form is not the right solution either.
I recently came across an inexpensive water-pitcher, designed for infusion, at Bed Bath & Beyond. All it has is a simple little insert that slides into the pitcher (with small cutout holes). This way your water stays clear and clean as well as easy to pour, while the insert and the fruit inside the insert gently flavors the water.
I am amazed at how a simple infusion can turn something so blah into something utterly irresistible. What a concept! Tons of high-end hotels and spas have been serving this in their lobbies. And everyone who walks past — finds it hard to resist a taste. So why shouldn't we enjoy it in our own homes?
I have been experimenting with a few flavor combinations at home. The exact proportions are unnecessary as you can totally customize it to your preferences. The possibilities are endless, but some of my current favorites are as follows:
- Sliced strawberries and lemons. The super sweet strawberry flavor really comes out with the tartness of the lemons. I use 1 part lemons to 3 parts strawberries.
- Sliced oranges and lemons. While both these are citrus, I find the lemons really freshen up the flavors a lot. I use 2 parts oranges to one part lemons.
- Sliced cucumbers and roughly chopped mint. A classic summer-time combo. Delicate flavors of the cucumber goes beautifully with mint.
- Chopped pineapples, sliced strawberries and sliced lemons. Love this one! Love the wonderful sweetness that the pineapple adds to this mix making me feel like I am on a Hawaiian island.
The above combos can stay in the insert for up to 5-6 days before you have to replace them. I also tried blueberries and raspberries. Raspberries didn't last so well in the water after a couple of days. And unless you crush the blueberries a bit, you are not going to get a lot of flavor out of them. But I don't like to crush the fruit because I like the gentle infusion of flavor rather than the almost fruit-juice like results. Plus crushing the fruit makes the water murky!
Hope you get yourself one of these pitchers and have a blast experimenting.

Police Chief John Tedesco administered an oath and a shiny silver badge was pinned to the chest of 10-year-old Jay Patrick "JP" Honsinger, who suffers from a rare neurogenerative disorder, as the boy was made an honorary police officer Friday afternoon.
The apple-cheeked lad beamed beneath a slightly large brimmed police officer's cap. He squared his shoulders and lifted his chin as he wore a black clip-on tie against a navy blue uniform shirt, to go with a gap-toothed grin.
"Amazing. Super happy," the boy, a fifth grader at Arongen Elementary School in Clifton Park, said afterward. He said he wanted to be a police officer since he was 3, after he met Troy Officer Kyle Jones, a family friend, who helped put together the emotional program, which included a tour of headquarters and a ride-along for the boy in a police car.
His parents, sister, three dozen uniformed officers and Mayor Lou Rosamilia packed into a briefing room and applauded.
They called Honsinger's name in roll call and assigned him to Car 90 with Jones. "Tactical command will be under the director of Officer Honsinger," a commander said. The audience chuckled.
"We just try to make every day special for JP," said the boy's father, Jay Honsinger. He watched Jones grow up from the time he was a youngster, during annual summer gatherings with the Jones and Honsinger families in Schroon Lake.
"JP always looked up to Kyle," the father said.
Tedesco admitted the feel-good event — more than a month in the planning — gave officers a boost following a rough stretch that battered morale and harmed community relations. An early Saturday morning fight among customers at a downtown nightclub was quelled by cops, resulting in public outrage and allegations of police brutality.
"This couldn't have come at a better time," Tedesco said. "It's been a tough week for us, but JP's journey is a lot more difficult."
Honsinger was diagnosed last September with Niemann-Pick disease Type C, a severe metabolic disorder that has been called childhood Alzheimer's. It typically strikes children before or during adolescence. Symptoms include deterioration of memory and balance, lung and liver failure, delayed motor development and seizures. There is no known cure and those with the disease — only about 300 children across the U.S. — only occasionally live into adulthood.
More Information
A rare illness
Niemann-Pick disease refers to a group of severe metabolic disorders. In Type C (NPC), patients are not able to metabolize cholesterol and other lipids properly. This causes excessive amounts of cholesterol to accumulate in the liver and spleen and excessive amounts of other lipids to accumulate in the brain.
Signs of NPC include severe liver disease, breathing difficulties, developmental delays, seizures, poor muscle tone, lack of coordination and an inability to move the eyes vertically.
The disease is inherited. A mutated gene must be passed on by both parents, though the parents typically do not show signs of the illness. NPC affects about 1 in every 150,000 people, or fewer than 300 in the country.
There is no cure for NPC. People with the disease have short life expectancies. Though some live into adulthood, it is rare for them to reach age 40.
NPC patients are often put on a low-cholesterol diet or cholesterol-lowering drugs, but there is no evidence these treatments halt the progression of the disease.

"We tell him he has a condition. We don't call it a disease or discuss the details," said his mother, Donna Honsinger. The parents and daughter, Mollie, 13, have taken JP to see specialists in Boston and Minnesota. They're hopeful the boy can join a clinical trial of an experimental drug that has shown some promise in delaying progression of the disease.
JP continues to attend school full-time, despite the fact that his mother wakes him three times during the night to give him some of the 12 pills he takes each day.Read Full Article
"He just goes with the flow. He's so easygoing," she said, despite the boy's advancing symptoms. His parents take JP twice a week a week to a personal trainer, he swims once a week and also receives therapy to help him swallow — all in an attempt to slow the disease.
JP has been adopted by the University at Albany men's hockey team and he serves as their water boy at home games.
He displayed composure for such a tender age Friday, but his mother noticed a brace of media and the bright lights of television cameras overwhelmed her son momentarily. "I saw him cry for a second, but he's OK now," she said. "The whole 518 community has come together to support us. The kindness of people has been incredible."
