Probably not.
Just look at the juice label. If it says "pasteurized", it is definitely not as healthy as homemade carrot juice. Almost all store-bought fruit and vegetable juices have been pasteurized. The heat from the pasteurization process destroys some of the nutrients.
Nothing is as good as homemade. Even if it's homemade, it has benefits only 24 hours after squeezing the juice out. And if you are drinking it as a remedy, that is, as an alternative to medicine, then you need it to be really strong, in its full force, which is only 10 minutes after squeezing out.
As for juices from the store, first of all, they are not only juice. They have preservatives that make them not go bad after those 24 hours are up. But these preservatives, they work by making processes in the juice stop, and once you drink them, they make processes in your body stop. And that's pretty bad, to say the least. Like there is this saying: "The longer the shelf life, the shorter yours".
Also, juices from the store are nearly always pasteurized. This means that they have been heated. Heat kills 70% of the vitamins, even if they were freshly squeezed.
Not to mention that bottles are never just juice all the way up to the top. They are juice+water. And that water is pretty much tap water which has chlorine in it. Chlorine has a pretty bad effect when it's heated. This chemical reaction happens during which it becomes part of this really complicated chlorine compound which your body can't break down, and so you store it as a toxin. Toxins cause health problems, not to mention cellulite.
nope, all package food are bad in someway

The company won in the Non-Food Primary Packaging category.
WEST CHICAGO, Ill. – Ball Innovations, a business unit of Ball Horticultural Co., has won a Greener Package Award for SoilWrap, a bio-based, plantable growing container.
The Greener Package Awards competition is sponsored by Summit Publishing's GreenerPackage.com, and recognizes innovations in five categories that significantly reduce packaging's environmental footprint.
The bottomless pot design – winner in the Non-Food Primary Packaging category – is made from Mirel, a renewable, biodegradable and environmentally friendly material.
SoilWrap was designed by Greg Trabka, sustainable horticulture specialist with Ball Innovations. The plantable, printable design addresses the landfill waste associated with horticultural plastic.
It also saves time during transplanting by approximately 30% as you do not need to remove the plant from the pot, and there are no pots to clean up after planting. Additionally, SoilWrap reduces transplant shock and loss due to breakage during transplanting.
A total of eight winners were selected by members of the Greener Package Expert Network.

Comments about quiksilver Mini Tracker Backpack:
While it is called a "MINI" backpack, the description states that it can fit a 15" laptop inside, however, there is no internal padded laptop sleeve and it can't even fit a 13" laptop inside. It is still a great backpack but the description is a little incorrect and for that reason it gets 4 stars.

Martha's New Toy
After a one hour sea trial yesterday on the Columbia River, Martha and I were amazed by the Thunder Jet Explorer. . After a brief demo by the salesman, Martha took the helm and put the boat through some of the same maneuvers followed by me.
When we decided to buy a new fishing boat for Alaska, we saw the quality construction and experienced the ride in a friends boat in Canada. With an open mind we looked at all of the comparable models and kept coming back to the Thunder Jet because of the quality and value. With confidence we made our decision, even before we really understood what this boat does on the water. I can't describe with words what this boat did on the water yesterday. The only way to understand it, I think, is to actually be inside where you see the water outside and feel the handling from inside. It's kind of like Space Mountain, You don't know what it is until you get off of it.
We are headed to San Diego for a few days and will bring the boat back to Anacortes just before Thanksgiving. Our first year basic trick out will include, owner installed, Downriggers, Sonar, VHF, and bottom paint. Feel free to stop by and check out the boat and be entertained by my wrench and drillmanship.

We wanted to design a special quad for all the pilots who want to build up their "stick time" fast and spend less time building or re-building after every minor crash . Do not risk your HT-450 mothership when you have a urge to flip. The Flip! will be the first Quad you experiment with and not have to worry about repair. There is no substitute for air-time, and pushing your limits of what you feel comfortable. This means crashes will happen and it can be a problem if you do not have the right quad. This quad is built for climbing the learning curve and spending more time airborne and less time re-building. Designed to have fewer parts and be nearly unbreakable following the usual lawn strikes and heavy ground contact, a bag of props are the only thing between you and the sky.
All custom built, tuned and tested to order. Due to recent high demand, please allow 2-3 weeks for quads to be built and shipped.
Add carefree and GPS to your FLIP!

Russia is facing a "significant" slowdown in economic growth, which will strip away the government's popularity, said Aleh Tsyvinski, co-director of the macroeconomics program at Yale University's Cowles Foundation.
"There will be a significant slowdown in growth," he said today in an interview in Moscow. "This is fraught with serious political and economic problems. It's no secret that the popularity of the people in power greatly hinges on the big increase in the standard of living of average Russians."
Russia's average monthly wage, adjusted for inflation, rose an average of 14 percent annually from 1999 through 2007, a period in which economic expansion averaged 8 percent a year, according to the Federal Statistics Service.
Annual growth may slow to 2 percent in 2011-2013 if prices for oil and gas, Russia's chief export earners, fall, Deputy Economy Minister Andrei Klepach said today at an investment conference in Moscow. The ministry forecasts growth of 3.9 percent to 4.5 percent in the next three years, although Russia will need to "fight" to achieve it, Klepach said.
Russia's economy will "face stagnation" similar to that experienced during the reign of Leonid Brezhnev, who led the Soviet Union from 1964-1982, if oil prices remain around $70 to $80 a barrel, said Tsyvinski, 32, who is a professor at Yale in New Haven, Connecticut, and Moscow's New Economic School.
Tighter Regulation
For Russia, economic expansion of around 3 percent constitutes stagnation and is comparable to the U.S. economy contracting 1 percent, he said.
"When oil prices were increasing and investors were expecting significant growth, Russia was an interesting country for them," Tsyvinski said. "With oil prices between $70 and $80 a barrel, Russia becomes a lot less attractive."
There will be tighter financial regulation after the global economic crisis, so less money will flow to emerging markets, Tsyvinski said. Russia will have to compete against Brazil and China for investment and it's looking less attractive, he said.
Foreign direct investment into Russia, the world's biggest energy exporter, fell an annual 11 percent to $5.4 billion in the first half, according to the Federal Statistics Service.
The Russian government estimates 2010 economic growth of 4 percent following last year's 7.9 percent contraction, the deepest on record. Russia's gross domestic product grows by about half a percentage point for every $10 increase in the price of a barrel of oil, according to Klepach.
'New Quality of Growth'
Urals, Russia's export blend of crude, reached a low for the year at $67.42 on May 25, climbing back up to $83.94 a barrel today, according to Bloomberg data. This compares with a low of $32.34 a barrel in December of 2008, the first year Russia's economy contracted after nine consecutive years of expansion.
"We need a new quality of growth," Andrei Kostin, chief executive officer of VTB Group, Russia's second-biggest lender, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television yesterday. "We need a restructuring of the economy if we want to avoid the situation which we faced during the crisis."
Overall capital investment in Russia accounts for 20 percent of GDP and one third of that investment goes to the energy sector, according to Klepach.
"The need for Russia to diversify away from energy is stronger than ever," Ruchir Sharma, head of emerging markets at Morgan Stanley said yesterday.

--Airline Gol helps reverse early-session losses on news of potential help for sector
--Blue chips Petrobras, Vale offset continued freefall in Eike Batista's OGX
--Brazil's benchmark Ibovespa stocks index closes 0.7% higher at 55051 points
By Jeff Fick
RIO DE JANEIRO--Brazilian blue-chip shares closed higher Friday, shrugging off disappointing U.S. jobs data and the continuing tumble in shares of billionaire businessman Eike Batista's flagship oil company, OGX Petroleo e Gas Participacoes.
The benchmark Ibovespa stocks index closed 0.7% higher at 55051 points, up from Thursday's close at 55648 points. Volume was moderate-to-heavy at 7.7 billion Brazilian reais ($3.9 billion).
Local stocks spent most of the session in the red after the U.S. March employment report widely missed expectations, casting a pall over gradually improving economic data in the world's largest economy. The Labor Department report showed U.S. companies adding 88,000 jobs in March, well off forecasts for a gain of 200,000. The U.S. unemployment rate also fell a meager one-tenth of a percentage point to 7.6%, largely because people stopped looking for work.
The disappointing jobs data sent global stock markets tumbling, including in Brazil. But the trend reversed in late afternoon trading, lifted primarily by bargain-hunting and a report from Reuters that hinted at help for Brazil's struggling aviation industry. Civil Aviation Minister Welling Moreira Franco told the news agency that the ministry asked the Brazilian Development Bank, or BNDES, and regulator Anac for a series of studies as it seeks ways to resolve some of the industry's problems.
Gol shares reversed losses to end 2.7% higher at BRL11.15. Earlier in the session, concerns that reports of bird flu in China would undermine international travel had weighed on the airline's shares.
Gains by heavy volume blue-chip shares also lifted the index, analysts said. State-run energy giant Petroleo Brasileiro, or Petrobras, closed 0.5% higher at BRL17.80. Vale SA, the world's largest iron ore producer and second-biggest nickel miner, rose 0.7% to BRL32.60.
Electric utilities also jumped after the government said it would eliminate some taxes for the sector. The government reimbursed companies for unamortized investments as part of its renewal of operating licenses. On Friday, the government said that those reimbursements would be exempt from some payroll taxes, saving companies about BRL2.75 billion in tax payments. Cia Energetica de S Paulo surged 8.1% to BRL21.95, while Cia Paranaense de Energia rose 8.3% to BRL34.30.
Shares of companies in Mr. Batista's EBX Group were mixed. Investors have bailed out of shares of Mr. Batista's companies in recent months amid questions about the ability of the companies, many of them in the startup phase, to deliver concrete results after oil company OGX reported disappointing oil production.
OGX was among the session's leading losers, setting a record all-time low of BRL1.64 before trimming losses to end 13.6% down at BRL1.71. Miner MMX Mineracao e Metalicos closed 1.1% higher at BRL1.92, while shipbuilder OSX Brasil lost 5% to close at BRL3.80. Logistics company LLX Logistica gained 1% to BRL2.04.

A little about me...
I've worked most of my life in an office type job. Being alone this late in life is very lonely. I don't go out or travel by myself. I rely on my children, but they have their own lives. People say I look young for my age. I am quiet, easy going, I dress casual, like dining out, classic and good country music. I used to like to dance,but would need to brush up some. I like movies, videos and sightseeing. I never get enough of Branson, Mo., Black Hills, S.D., Colorado and watching the sun-set in Key West, Fl. Also collecting sea shells on the beach, even though I'm not a water or sand person. I am a romatic and want to feel close to that special person.
About the one I'm looking for...
I am looking for that special person who is honest, loyal, easy going, fun to be with and to share my time with and be happy.
I'd just like to add...
Life is to short not to have someone to share it with. Why sit around and be lonely. If interested, let's meet for coffee and conversation and see how things go.

Don Coqui where MacMenamin's Grill was?
I passed MacMenamin's in New Rochelle while on 95 the other evening and it's now something else, It's call Don Coqui. After searching it, it's seems to be a partnership between Brian MacMenamin and Jimmy Rodriguez featuring Caribbean {Puerto Rican) food.
Jimmy has a long history in the city starting with Jimmy's Bronx Cafe and up to recently Sofrito's on 72nd street in Manhattan.
Very interested in this partnership has anyone tried it yet?
This from White Plains Times:
Don Coqui @ ChefWorks
115 Cedar St., New Rochelle
632-4900 • http://doncoqui.com/
Brian MacMenamin, chef/proprietor of what was called MacMenamin's Grill @ ChefWorks just off Rt. 95 at exit 16 in New Rochelle, has teamed with nightlife entrepreneur and host Jimmy Rodriquez, owner of Sofrito in Manhattan. MacMenamin's Grill has morphed into Don Coqui, "a short cut to Puerto Rico," with a compelling menu of authentic Puerto Rican-Latino-Caribbean specialties. I've enjoyed their empanada sampler stuffed with choice of shrimp, chicken, beef or vegetables; crispy plantains topped with shrimp, steak, pork and baccalao; a soup of chicken, beef, oxtail with Caribbean roots and vegetables, Sancocho; a hearty big bowl of Paella loaded with lobster, shrimp, clams, mussels, chicken and chorizo; and big Lamb Shanks Osso Buco served with Risotto Milanese & gremoulata. Their coconut flan is a knockout. MacMenamin weighs in with some of his popular specialties as well, such as thin-crusted margherita pizza with Buffalo mozzarella and big hefty steaks. Open seven days for dinner only starting at 4 p.m.; Sunday brunch served 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.; Full bar/lounge. There is music and DJ entertainment nightly.
re: Jon1856
Jon, FYI - the articles on restaurants in the White Plains Times are not reviews. They are quid pro quo promotion for restaurants that advertise with them.
re: laylag
Thanks-I wondered about them and thought as much. I generaly use what I see there as a FYI/information thing. And that is how I meant to post it. Which is one of the reasons I included link.
In 20/20 perhaps I shoud have added "FYI" or some other conditions to it....;.>D
So has anybody been to this place yet?
They posted their menu as a PDF.
Starters range from $6 to $15, with the average being about $10 - $11.
Main courses go from $14 - $22, with the average around $19.
An interesting note on the menu says: "Due to our limited seating, tables are available for dinner service only. Therefore, a time limit may be applied at management's discretion."
I'm wondering if in this economy, those menu prices are do-able for Caribbean food.
re: PlasticMoonRain
Check out today's local Westchester news re: this restaurant's severe problems. Doesn't look good for this place.
NEW ROCHELLE - Don Coqui Restaurant, the former MacMenamin's Grill, is being run by a trustee after allegations that management bounced 50 checks, set up an account it did not disclose to creditors in its bankruptcy case and failed to file required financial statements.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Adlai S. Hardin appointed Robert L. Geltzer, a New York City lawyer, to oversee the operation of the restaurant, whose business suffered as the recession worsened last year. The restaurant also suffered from its inability to get the state to issue a permit to operate a cooking school.
re: lucyis
Looks like the bankruptcy trustee closed them down last night.
re: winston1
Just a few days ago they were sending out cooking school ads via email. I didn't even know the cooking school was still open.
re: winston1
gee, that was quick.

Described as the highlight of the Formula One season, the Monaco Grand Prix is the race that every driver wants to win; so it is a treat for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines' guests to be able to visit this top-class circuit first-hand, on Boudicca's 15-nights D1511 'Film Stars & Fast Cars' cruise around the south of France and Spain, sailing from Dover on 16th May 2015.
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, voted 'Best Cruise Line for Groups' by readers of Group Leisure magazine for five consecutive years, and 'Best Cruise Operator for Groups' by Group Travel Organiser magazine for the last four years, has launched a new 'Group Travel' brochure, detailing the many exclusive benefits available to groups.
Situated at the head of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea, St. Petersburg is known for being the 'young city' of Russia, having been founded in the early 18th century by Tsar Peter the Great. Despite being described as Russian's most Western city, St. Petersburg is packed with stunning museums and monuments that epitomise the very best of Russian culture and architecture.
Cruise experts at influential consumer website Cruise Critic have voted Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines 'Best Value for Money' in its 'Cruise Critic UK Editors' Picks Awards 2014', for the third consecutive year. The winners are selected by Cruise Critic's international team of Editors, based on the lines and ships that they feel best represent excellence in each of the 18 categories.
Join Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines' 929-guest Braemar as she sets off from Harwich on 13th April 2015 on a 5-night Elvis cruise (M1510) with a difference! This very special 'Elvis Party Cruise' will celebrate what would have been The King's 80th birthday, with a visit to the only 'Graceland' outside the United States, and will feature award-winning Elvis tribute acts Ben Portsmouth and Ben Thompson.
Award-winning Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines is pleased to announce that it is working in partnership with The Institute of Leadership and Management ('ILM') to deliver an accredited training initiative, the 'Supervisor and Management Development Programme', which has been added to its Training and Development curriculum for ship-based Officers and crew.
Many people would agree that one of the worst parts about travelling is, well, the actual process of travelling. Long train rides; traffic jams and endless hours in airplane seats are all things that we have come to accept as part of the journey. Fortunately, this isn't strictly true; there's a way to travel without being uncomfortable – getting on a cruise!
For sheer diversity, sparkling scenery and rich culture enriched by history, look no further than one of our eastern Mediterranean cruises. Trade tourist traps and long waits at the airport for a relaxing Fred. Olsen cruise and take to the seas for a memorable Mediterranean adventure. Not sure where to go? Here are a few ideas…
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines' three ships Black Watch, Braemar and Balmoral are all due to enter dry dock at the Blohm+Voss shipyard in Hamburg, Germany in November and December 2014, in preparation for the forthcoming 2015/16 cruise season. This is the first time that so many Fred. Olsen ships have undergone refurbishment within such short succession.
If you're looking to get the most out of your holiday but are pushed for time then look no further than our exotic fly-cruises to the Far East. These magical holidays will take you on an unforgettable journey where you'll witness beautiful beaches, jaw-dropping landscapes, mystical and exciting cities.

Does it make you cry to calculate how much you have spent on LEGOs for your child over the years? A company called Pley is offering Netflix-type subscriptions for LEGOs. Unlimited rolling access to the large LEGO sets is $39 a month, $25 for medium sets and $15 a month for small sets. Why is this such a good idea? Well, LEGO sets are expensive to buy and it is the building, not the owning of the sets that is fun for children. Pley says it will sanitize each set before sending it out and weigh each package to detect missing pieces. Customers can lose up to 15 pieces without incurring any penalty. pley.com.
Is your child more likely to pick up a book than a LEGO? A new service offers children 12 and under a monthly library of more than 2,000 books available on the iPad for $9.95 a month. The company's mission is to encourage kids to use iPads for something other than games. For adults, there is already Oyster, an e-book service aimed at adults for $9.95 a month. Meanwhile, Amazon has Kindle Free Time Unlimited that gives families unlimited access to e-books, movies, TV shows, educational apps and games aimed at the under 8 crowd.
Autism diagnoses are up 30 percent in the last year alone. A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that one in 68 children have autism spectrum disorders. The CDC added that the criteria used to diagnose, treat and provide services have not changed. The study focused on "peak age of identification," which is age 8.

Starting next week, the nonprofit California Parenting Institute will offer "Parenting Advanced Learners" at the Sonoma Community Center. This series provides a comprehensive overview of parenting gifted children, including meeting social/emotional needs, intensity, sensitivity, peer relationships, motivation, depression, twice exceptional children (gifted with accompanying issues), self-regulation, frustration tolerance, procrastination, perfectionism and ways parents can take care of themselves, too. Groups will meet from 10:30 a.m. to noon on six Wednesdays, starting April 2. To register, 585-6108, ext. 1240 or visit calparents.org.
The number of California undergrads taking out student loans has jumped 75 percent over the past decade, according to the Campaign for College Opportunity. The amount each student owes, however, has held steady at a little more than $20,000, when adjusted for inflation. California is considered a "low-debt state" thanks to the Cal Grant program. Almost 74 percent of all undergraduates took out a federal loan in the 2011-12 school year (up from 51 percent in 2003-04). The report points out the big-picture problems with this debt: young adults with student loan debt are less likely to buy a home or start a small business or open a savings account.
There is a new free app for mobile devices that enables people to evaluate their abilities to perceive, understand and control emotions. The MEIT test (Mobile Emotional Intelligence Test) is a skill test to evaluate the ability to perceive emotions, the understanding of these emotions and the ability to manage them. emotional-apps.com.
There is a Chinese saying: "It is better to travel ten thousand miles than read ten thousand books." Michelle Obama quoted it recently in a speech about the importance of studying abroad. She said, "Studying abroad isn't just a fun way to spend a semester; it is quickly becoming the key to success in our global economy … Because when it comes to the defining challenges of our time – whether it's climate change or economic opportunity or the spread of nuclear weapons – these are shared challenges. And no one country can confront them alone."
The Sonoma Valley Unified School District is working on an updated policy regarding the awarding of credit for courses taken outside of a traditional district classroom. Why is this so important? Right now, out of 20-million students in the U.S., more than a million are taking at least one online class (according to Pew Research Millennial Facts)
Sleep is so important for teens. Youth athletes who sleep eight or more hours each night are 68 percent less likely to get injured, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Hanging out at the Google lounge at the SXSWEdu conference, I fell in love with the new, white 11-inch Google Chromebook. Besides being a great-looking and inexpensive device at $259, I am thinking there may be advantages to having the same device for home use that a student uses at school.
Cardinal Newman High School (now co-ed with the all-girls school Ursuline folded in) recently announced Laura Held as its new head of school. Held has spent the past 35 years in the educational community at the elementary and secondary level in the Bay Area. Most recently, she served as the assistant superintendent for Faith Formation and Religious Education for the Archdiocese of San Francisco. She has a master's degree from CSU East Bay and a BA from Holy Names University. She starts May 1.
According to the U.S. Department of Education, students at for-profit colleges represent about 13 percent of the total higher-ed population, but make up 46 percent of loan defaults. Luckily, over the past several years, only a handful of SVHS graduates have chosen to attend for-profit colleges, with the most popular perhaps being Academy of Art in San Francisco.
Sonoma Valley High's recent music department fundraiser organized by Anastasia Encarnacion, raised $6,500 to help pay for the trip to compete at the Heritage Festival in Anaheim and for instrument purchase and repair. Encarnacion devoted more than 150 hours since August to organizing the event. She mentioned recently that the department seeks donations of clarinets, flutes, alto and tenor saxophones, a sousaphone, trombones, guitars and drumheads for its drum set.

This little brush set is great for creating beautiful eyeshadow applications. Two brushes are double-sided giving four different brush shapes. These brushes can do just about anything I would want to do with my eyeshadow, and they offer good control in a compact size. They come in a little plastic envelope that is useful for traveling. These meet my needs perfectly.

Ah do I not have to wait until all the leaves die back, like daffodils?
Hi Fidgetbones,
I will remember to try lidl next year, I might have fallen in love with this flower.
So does the Priscilla give the curly petals? The others I have aren't as frilly! Sorry for all the technical terms! ha ha!
Also I assume that if the are left in over winter they will all flower at the same time (more or less) I like the idea of successive flowering, but not so much the effort of digging up, storing, replanting each year.
Hi ImpHosta,
I too had to pick off the dead heads while the top one we just opening, but mostly lovely long spikes of flowers. I was torn between putting some in vases so I could enjoy them in the house and leaving them in the garden to make the neighbours jealous the weather decided for me as the wind had made them fall over. I never staked them (didn't like the look) planted them really deep in the hopes that would be enough. I think a move to the bed in front of the house will help with that next year.
I'm not sure about different varieties, I got these from Tesco (50 for £5, I think) All the first ones were the ones I the picture, now got peach, yellow and purple.
Such a lovely flower, had to patient though, took ages to come up. and weeks before the flower spike formed.
I don't think I will risk moving them until they hand died back completely, will wait for the experts input though!
Hi everyone,
I have grown gladioli for the first time this year. I am pretty impressed, they look amazing. I think I will relocate them next year as they are getting a bit battered in the wind.
So I am looking for any top tips for getting a really stunning display. This year I planted 2 batches a few weeks apart, which had given me a great succession of flowering, want to try 3 next year, would like to know how to avoid accidentally breaking the ones growing already, as I did this year.
Also some tip on lifting and storing would be great!
Many thanks in advance
Looks fantastic, lovely boxer!
Thanks for link, very informative! You think that I could put a cloche over it and release some ladybirds?
Thanks Dave will have a look out for slugs and snails. do you have any tips for keeping them away?
Could ants be eating my pansies? The are in a bed next to ant nest, and I just noticed one plant in particular is full of holes and wondered if it was the ants?
Hello hope someone can offer a bit of advice. I planted these last year. Very chuffed as they have multiplied However as you can see the ones on the right have some kind of fuzz on the buds. They had it last year and flowered ok. I am wondering though if this is something harmful. It hasn't affected the others.
Would love a bit of advice, don't want to leave them there and its something bad and affects the others
Thanks in advance!
wow that's fantastic! I had no idea they flowered. I got one recently, was too big for the pot so I split it and now have four! My grandmother had one, it was and will always be referred to as Ellen's Tongue in my house! :0)

You will surely treasure your PURA VIDA vacation in Costa Rica! Bedding includes a king-size bed in the master bedroom, a queen in 2 different bedrooms, two twins and a futon in the 4th bedroom.
We purchased this home pre-construction because we love the natural beauty of the area. The people at Roma del Mar are amazing and so helpful, and we wanted to belong to the family here. We truly feel at home!
Larry & I took a chance by coming here during the rainy season and we were totally blessed with awesome weather. It only rained once!! This whole week has flown by, of course, we knew it would. We explored the grounds and saw a family of monkeys. We drove out to Nicoya and Samara to see the beach, but honestly our favorite thing was to just stay home and hang out at the pool with the awesome surround sound stereo system. Only 3 more hours and we have to take the ferry back :( . We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here in paradise and hope to return soon. Ralph, the caretaker, was great and made sure we had everything we needed.
Anja gave a very relaxing massage and a beautiful pedicure. Everyone was very friendly & helpful, thank God, because we really don't speak Spanish except hello & goodbye :) . We celebrated Larry's 40th birthday and then 4 days later he proposed - wow - what an unexpected surprise!
Thank you for everything!
"We absolutely LOVE coming to Roma del Mar in Costa Rica. It is in a GORGEOUS area. We love just relaxing and enjoying ourselves in such a peaceful nature setting."

Google and Stanford create a digital brain that, like an infant, learns to identify a human face from scratch June 26, 2012 at 1:29 pm
In a tantalizingly terrifying hint of the future, Google has shown off a new neural network — a Google brain, if you will — that can learn to identify objects without human supervision. Operating from the mysterious Google X Lab, this system can take random images and sort them into categories such as "human face" or "cat."
CPUs of the future: AMD partners with ARM, Intel designs a brain on a chip June 18, 2012 at 1:18 pm
In the past week, both AMD and Intel have given us a tantalizing peek at their next-generation neuromorphic computer chips. These chips, it is hoped, will provide brain-like performance (i.e. processing power and massive parallelism way beyond current CPUs) while consuming minimal amounts of power.
MIT creates "brain chip" November 15, 2011 at 9:29 am

Apple preps iOS fix as Germany warns of iPhone peril
Apple plans to issue fixes for two security flaws that when exploited together allow attackers to remotely install malicious apps on iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches. Although the critical vulnerabilities surfaced over the weekend, Apple officials didn't acknowledge them until Wednesday, the same day the German government …
That's....bad! Move a slider in a browser, and root the fecking device? Nice security!
Alternatively... you might want to jailbreak your phone/pad
and then install the PDF Loading Warner from Cydia, which will warn you whenever mail or safari try to open a PDF so you can cancel it.
Yet again, the jailbreakers are making iOS secure before Apple do :)
Title goes here
Was it really needed for you to bash Microsoft/Adobe in a post about Apple? The entire issue is about Apple, so why bring up MS/Adobe at all? Is the PDF reader on the IOS Adobe or Apple? Is the ISO a MS product? Nope? Then I see no reason to detract from the fact Apple are lackluster when it comes to security by trying to fawn MS/Adobe as evil companies who let your OS be taken over 24/7 at a whim.
After years and years of MS and Adobe failures...
You get upset because they make a reference to all the past failures of Adobe and MS when someone who hasn't had a track record for failures fails? In fact, it added some information to the article because it made it clear this was Apple's code and not Adobe's PDF code.
APPLE PREPS iOS fix...
Apple still FAILED in my eyes... I won't BUY an Iphone/Itouch. It was cool however, someone tossed their broken Iphone 3Gs that only needed a new screen and LCD. It cost me $55US plus 4hrs of research on installing the parts.
1. Apple failed by not allowing bluetooth transferring of files to a phone or PC.
2. Apple failed by not using the universal MICROUSB cables. ( You are stuck with purchasing overpriced propietary APPLE cables and adaptors).
3. Apple failed by their warranty program (mainly because they are replacing each new release phone with one with either faster processor or bigger hard drive space with minor cosmetic changes every 12 to 16 months).
I won't be surprised if Apple now make a new Iphone version in 2012 with a new proprietary power/sync cable that cost 50 bucks and all cables from version 1 to 4 obsolete.
by default automatically open
Oh, my... Haven't companies learned yet that automatically opening files always ends in tears?
What do you think happens when you visit a website? What do you think an HTML file is, if not a - y'know - file? The iOS browser brings PDF up to a first level file along with HTML, JPEG, PNG and so on - that's the only difference here.
To be fair, I work with the guts of PDF on a daily basis and some of the legacy stuff there (parsing Type 1 fonts or some of the freaky CCITT variations etc) is just awful, so there's more room for error parsing PDF than JPEG.
I'm also surprised on a device like this that Apple aren't flagging the data area as no-execute, which neuters this sort of buffer overrun. I guess not, so we won't see the last of these.
I can tell my browser what to open automagically.
I get the impression the iphone doesn't have that option
....are not really something Apple understand, as far as I can tell.
Easy Apple Fix
"we have already developed a fix and it will be available to customers in an upcoming software update."
Yeah, they are going to remove all PDF support from the thing now :P
Hey, they did it with Adobe's other well-known product
So relations will already be strained between the two. And there's enough of a history of PDFs and Acrobat creating gaping security holes that it wouldn't be hard to get Apple's PR guys to start saying why PDF support isn't necessary.
Plus the iPhone isn't exactly a business device anyway, so I can't see the absence of PDF support being a problem for most users.
And there are PDF-> other format converters all over the web, so Jobs would just tell you to use one of them (or rather Apple's pay-to-use certified version).
Easy iPhone 4 fix
Just put your finger on the "I don't want PDFs rooting my phone" button that is placed on the side between the two antennas...
In other news, a user has found that when they hold their phone with their finger over a certain part, pictures don't come out either!
Rhe chicken or the egg?
Who found the exploit first - Jailbreakme.com or is the German Federal Office for Information Security?
Whilst the Jobs gang plays catch-up what are they doing about fixing all the other iOS problems such as Bluetooth. etc? Mind you, Jailbreakme.com did manage to actually get Apple to admit they have 'issues' with the Lemon ware.
NIke Plus
Or the excellent job that Apple have done to Nike Plus in iOS 4. So good, in fact, that Nike suggest that if you've recently bought an iPhone/iPod & Nike Plus, you return it back to the Apple Store as the system doesn't work.
Hur hur
You said "booby"
Bit dramatic..
.. but I guess the sentiment is there I suppose.
Though it is funny thinking of all the iPads and iPhones in Apple stores with Cydia installed over the last couple of days. :)
It doesn't work as a phone and gets rooted if you try to use it for web surfing or email. What exactly is it for? Just a fashion accessory? Of course it will still continue to fly of the shelves, says a lot about the users.
RE: So ...
Except the only known exploit doesn't root your phone, it jailbreaks it.
(as you would know if you'd read the article)
Rooting the phone is implied as you can't jailbreak it without root access.
the sudden rush?
Saldy, after the last few years, I have a cynical view that the rush to get the fix out is to prevent the phone being jail-broken rather than the prevention of harm to actual real, paying customers. Am I too cynical?
Peter, you beat me to the punch !
Is that legal ? I'll have to start looking for a fix....
Probably old exploits
IIRC Safari wasn't updated for iOS4, so this is likely an old exploit that they've been saving for the launch of new hardware to make jail breaking as painless as possible, especially now that it's legal in some places.
It's the same with the custom firmwares for the PSP, hackers find various exploits but they don't release them in case Sony fixes them in the next firmware. Then the hackers use the flaw to attack the latest firmware when it arrives.
I jailbroke (is it a verb now? ;) ) my old 3G the other day. I'm still not very impressed with Cydia or Rock, they seem to spend 99% of their time downloading lists of updates, which takes ages. Plus the stability and usability of the emulators on there is really rubbish, as are the high prices.
"It just works"....
....just took on a whole new meaning. And not in a good way.
Fix for iOS 3.x users???
Uh oh, I've been strenuously avoiding an upgrade to iOS 4 on my 3G, due to all of the issues it seems to be causing people...
Now it looks like I'll have to take the plunge to get this fix...or simply get an iPhone 4. Which I was holding off doing until the white ones came out.
I have, on these forums, previously defended Apple's desire to only support one release of the iOS at a time. It makes sense, in the scheme of things. But I'm really hating it right now...would love a fork for iOS 3 support. Failing that Apple, can we get an iOS 4 that configures itself minimally for 3G/GS users, with no multitasking, no Spotlight, etc.?
There is a fork
The original iPhone doesn't support iOS4.
In the same position - too many 3G users reporting uissues with last OS upgrade that I decided to hold off.
The "choice" between keeping a potentially serious security flaw, or upgrading to an OS that grinds my phone to a halt is somewhat short of ideal.
Choices for Iphone 2G/3G users
You have three choices
a. Upgrade to iOS4 (unless you're on an original iPhone or iPod Touch)
b. Leave the phone insecure
c. Jailbreak it then install the PDF Warner.
Dont Do It!
I have a 3G, I upgraded to iOS 4... I had it for a week before spending several hours downgrading back to 3.1.3 due to speed issues.
Simply put the 3G cannot cope with iOS4, camera took 30 seconds to load first time, 20 seconds after that, Settings took 10 seconds, Messages longer... and keyboard response was piss poor... Typed whole sentances then wait for all the key presses to register before contuinuing...
I really cannot advise you strongly enough NOT to upgrade.
Simple fix.
Simple, use Opera Mini.
iOS 4.1 beta fixes the pdf bug
The jail break does not work with iOS 4.1 beta, so I guess Apple have already fixed that bug and is why the jailbreak was released now rather than waiting for 4.1.
-- Lets hope that the dev team have some more holes in their pockets!
Pot and Kettle
Jobby slates Adobe.
Yet another flaw annouced in iOS leaving users vulnerable.
But it's not Adobe's fault.
Jobby is hypocitical and arrogant and WRONG.
Apple and security?
@AC 4.26am
Apple hasn't had a track record for failures? Can you name one iPhone/iOS that hasn't been rootable and carrier-unlockable very very easily?
Apple OS = Microsoft OS
iOS 3 = XP
iOS 4 = Vista
We are all just waiting for iOS 5 :)
Bad comparison
iOS4 is perfectly good, it's nothing like VISTA.
It's the iPhone 4 antenna that has the quirks.
Comparing iPhone 4 to VISTA is stupid, VISTA didn't sell well yet the iPhone 4 has.
Perfect Comparison
Vista was touted to run on XP Hardware, but turned out to be a clinker-built slug-hog released according to the marketing depts schedule, despite a host of known QC issues . Ditto iOS4 - and iPhone4 for that matter.
Automatically opens PDFs
I don't care how many people have said it.
Who the hell thought that was a good idea and why have they not been put down?
My god, just the sheer annoyance of it would drive me mad.
RE: Automatically opens PDFs
...whereas most browsers automagically run Flash unless you tell then not to.
Which is worse, knowingly running something that obviously has script inside it or opening something that doesn't?
(Just for the record, I've turned Flash off. It's mostly unnecessary, as you can immediately tell once you've turned it off for a while. About 10% of the Flash is important to the working of the page and that's probably my biased view because I watch videos online ;)
What happened?
According to many posts I've read on different forums the iPhone can't ever be hacked because of signed code limitations. This must not have happened, its just a hoax.
My iPhone mail app has never opened PDFs automatically - I have to select them. OK, it doesn't ask me to confirm that I want to open it, but an explicit action is required.
Is my iPhone unusually paranoid or is the article over-egging the mail attack vector.

Jeffrey Simon
Director, MA Recovery & Reinvestment Office
I have been to a number of anti-poverty agencies across the state and my awe at the dedication and effort of the people who work at these agencies has yet to subside.
I know that I have written before about how Governor Patrick wants to make sure that we know in detail how the stimulus funds are working, so for this trip I paid a visit to the Worcester Community Action Council to see firsthand the impact of its stimulus funds. Once again, I was amazed at what this agency does to help some of the poorest in its city. Jill Daglis, the energetic executive director of the agency told me that the agency works with 72,000 families annually with that number rising consistently by 1,000 every year for the last few years. "Everyone here jumps in and does what it takes," she said.
This was evident once I heard from the staff whose programs received stimulus funding. Miurka Torres, the agency's housing specialist told me that thanks to the intake forms from the summer youth program – a program Jill told me also received stimulus funds – they discovered that many of the participants were homeless. "We ask all different types of questions so we can help them get what they need," she told me. They also discovered, Jill told me, that many of these youth were hungry so – of course – they created a nutrition program.
The agency's weatherization program, is on target to weatherize 1,196 homes with stimulus funds. But, as with any of the state's stimulus-funded weatherization programs the impact goes way beyond the warmer, more energy efficient homes: Mark Sanborn, the director of Energy Resources for the agency told me that they increased their contractor base from 10 to 19 and those contractors increased their crews. That's more people working and taking care of their families.
The list went on and on. The agency was able to expand its Head Start program with its stimulus awards, it helped more people with fuel assistance and it expanded its Job and Education Center. Judy Finkel, the director of the Center told me she was able to put together coaching, networking and training programs and with stimulus funds she hired 7 people who had been laid off. Again, the impact is multiplied: That's seven people who can help so many more people get trained and get jobs.
"All seven of us are trying to get our clients on the right track," Judy told me.
The same could be said for everyone at this agency – they are doing all they can to help those in Worcester who are struggling to get through this tough recession and to get back on their feet. I know I've said it before but it bears repeating: I'm just glad stimulus can help them do that.

I suppose the positive aspect about this ongoing ridiculous assault by Pullah Benefit on Welfare recipients …. people are starting to see her for what she is & are sickening of her mean & nasty horrible side of her & it's reflecting badly on the National party, why? It's only Lame Stream media that take it all on-board! Haha! The Nat supporters are tiring of it because it shows in the polls … they're dropping off every-time another one comes out.

Thank you for addressing her statements.

It's frightening to think we've got two more years of this crap Frank! Unbelievable damage will be done to NZ in that time and that's not even considering what might be in that TPPA scam…
18 September 2012 at 9:53 pm
Just one by-election away, SM…
Yes, the damage and social fallout will be considerable. We are re-living the late 1990s, like some ghastly version of 'Groundhog Day'…
No wonder people are leaving New Zealand in droves. It's not just higher pay in Australia, or better weather. I suspect New Zealanders who leave no longer feel a connection with this country.
This is what it means to refer to living in an "economy" (as they used to tout in the late 1980s), rather than a society.
As Maggie Thatcher once remarked, "there is no such thing as a society".
18 September 2012 at 10:17 pm

Nasty indeed, Scintilla. And once this nastiness becomes embedded within the collective psyche of the middle classes, voters will see Dear Leader in a whole new light. They may realise that his smile is not as benign as they once thought…
" O villain, villain, smiling, damnèd villain!
My tables—meet it is I set it down
That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain—
At least I am sure it may be so in New Zealand. "

FORT WAYNE – Norwell graduate Jarrod Parker will have season-ending surgery to replace an elbow ligament.
It's not only a blow for the Fort Wayne native because it'll be the second Tommy John surgery of his career – he had it done in 2009 when he was in the minor leagues – but also because he was atop the Oakland Athletics rotation and had been slated to start Opening Day.
He was 12-8 with a 3.97 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 134 strikeouts in 197 innings for the A's last season, when they won the American League West, but he had arm discomfort the final month of the season.
While Parker couldn't be reached for comment, his high school coach, Kelby Weybright, believes Parker will be able to come back from this.
You hate to see this happen. It's tough to see, as it was the first time (he needed surgery), Weybright said. It's unfortunate he'll have to fight through this a second time. But knowing Jarrod as I know him, he's a great young guy and a great young man. I'm confident he'll put in the work he needs to be back and better next year.
Parker, 25, was examined Monday by noted physician Dr. James Andrews in Gulf Breeze, Fla., as were Arizona's Patrick Corbin and Atlanta's Kris Medlen and Brandon Beachy, all with similar injuries.
Parker, who had a 10.61 ERA in three spring training starts, will have surgery March 25 performed by Andrews, who also operated on Parker in 2009 when he was in the Arizona Diamondbacks organization.
If you pay attention to the MLB right now, Jarrod's not the only guy fighting this situation and having to overcome it, Weybright said. Obviously, you never want to be derailed when trying to put yourself on the map. I'm sure there will be some down, bum feelings, but he'll handle it like a professional.
Obviously we feel bad for Jarrod, A's assistant general manager David Forst said, according to MLB.com. I know he worked hard this offseason after having some struggles at the end of the year and was hoping to be at the top of the rotation this year. We can only play the hand that we're dealt, and we obviously spent a lot of time putting together pitching depth and some guys are going to have to step up.
Parker was 25-16 with a 3.73 ERA in 61 starts for the A's over two seasons.
He was a first-round pick, ninth overall, of Arizona in 2007.

An EU ban on Iran's oil contains little-understood provisions that could complicate business for companies in Asia.
An EU ban on Iran's oil contains little-understood provisions that could complicate business for companies in Asia.
By Simit Patel:Last week was and eventful one in the saga surrounding Iran and the corresponding tensions in the global economy. Before we get into where this is all headed, let's recap where what's gone down:
The US' complete ineptitude on oil policy is in the spotlight just as predicted. A pair of articles will show what I mean.
China Snubs Geithner on Iran Oil
Bloomberg reports China Snubs Geithner on Iran Oil, Japan Plans Cut
The nuclear deal signed on Sunday will not allow any more Iranian oil into the market, or let western energy investors into the country, but it does freeze U.S. plans for deeper cuts to Iranian crude exports, Washington says.
Iran and six world powers reached a breakthrough deal early on Sunday to curb Tehran's nuclear programme in exchange for limited sanctions relief.
Under pretense of looking for other sources of oil, EU Iran Oil Embargo Over Nuclear Work Said Likely to Be Delayed Six Months
A European Union embargo on imports of Iranian (OPCRIRAN) oil will probably be delayed for six months to let countries such as Greece, Italy and Spain find alternative supplies, two EU officials with knowledge of the talks said.
Throughout much of 2012-13, the United States and Iran fought a financial war. With the benefit of hindsight, our friend Jim Rickards calls it a draw.
We documented this war in these pages as it was happening. Now Rickards helps fill in the rest of the story during a brief passage in his new book The Death of Money: The Coming Collapse of the International Monetary System.
