Virus removal

W7, Avira free a/v, Malawarebytes, SAS. Today my Avira scan reported a virus soon after the scan started. I clicked to remove it and rebooted as requested. Then Avira asked me to insert the Avira CD to identify the virus. I do not have a CD as it is a free download. I am currently running SAS and Malawarebytes, and will re - run Avira later. Usually Avira finds 4 hidden objects, this time there were 64.
I know one should not have more than one anti virus programme running. I wondered if as a one- off it is worth using another virus scanning programme to double check that it has gone? If so has anyone any advice? I will report back when all scans are run.

Maybe try the Avira Forum for help in case it is a false positive.
Or give the free Trend Micro a try for 1 year.Ignore the bank details they dont ask for that.
If they happen to be false positives I would not remove them in case it knackers your computer.If you have run MalwareBytes and SAS and they never found any problems False positives would be a good bet.

You could give the 'second opinion' Hitmanpro from here a run (free version).

Maybe they mean the Avira Rescue Boot CD. Also a free download. Burn the iso to CD.
If you don't want to keep uninstalling and reinstalling, or enabling disabling. your main AV, these boot discs are useful.
All the AV vendors have them. I quite like Kasperskys.
Or Emsisoft allows install of Scanner only which won't clash with other AV. I use that too as a 2nd opinion. It usually flags up lots of harmless cookies as well as serious threats.

Thank you for the replies. So far SAS only found a couple of ad - aware tracking cookies. MBAM still running as is a re-scan with Avira, so far so good. May try Hitmanpro and Emisoft later.

I have now run Avira, SAS and Malawarebytes. SAS found and removed 2 ad-aware tracking cookies. I often find SAS finds these, not found by MBAM. The re run of the Avira was clear. I think the first run found and removed the virus. I shall be vigilant and try a couple of the scanners all of you have recommended. Thanks again, will mark as resolved.

In NYC, Last Call for Railroad Bar Cars
The bar car, once an institution on commuter rail lines, has reached the end of the line. The last such car on the Metro-North Line, which runs between New York City and New Haven, Connecticut, has aged out of the fleet.
Bar cars were not just a place for commuters to ease job stress but also a place for what we now call social networking—and, according to rumor, the occasional affair. Changing roles of men and women and tough drunk driving laws have made the Mad Men culture of the 1960s socially unacceptable.
Denizens of bar cars put up a good fight. They used social media to make sure they were filled, and even created a website celebrating them. Now that the cars are gone, they plan to designate one car per train as "unquiet," "with promises of shared six-packs and undiminished cheer."

ROMULUS, Mich. — State police say they've searched the home of a suburban Detroit mayor as part of an ongoing public corruption investigation.
The search began Monday night at the home of Romulus Mayor Alan Lambert.
Police say Lambert was interviewed and allowed to leave. Police said he's been cooperative, and numerous items were seized. State police Lt. Michael Shaw says any request for possible charges in the case isn't expected for at least a month or so.
A message seeking comment from Lambert was left Tuesday by The Associated Press.
Romulus drew attention in 2011 after a former police chief and five detectives were charged in an alleged scheme that used drug forfeiture money to pay for prostitutes, alcohol and marijuana.
Shaw says the search isn't related to that case.

Bad news about the next-gen Mazda2 (and the Yaris that will be based on it) and the new Honda Fit coming this fall are they will all be built in Mexico, as opposed to Japan where they are all built now.
Historically the Japanese (and most others) have done a bad job of transplanting their build quality to Mexican auto plants.

The all-new 2014 Mini, with its BMW-engineered 1.5 liter 3-cylinder turbo, is rated 42 mpg on the highway by the epa. Impressive!
But does anyone who owns one have any real-world results that equal that?
Ford's Ecoboost engines seem to have trouble meeting their epa ratings in the real world, and I'm wondering if the same is true here or not.

Reader Mail: Dreadful Cover Stories (& More!)
Friday's item on the novelist who rejected his book cover drew a response from another beleaguered St. Martin's author, historical maritime mystery writer Joan Druett. On her website, she's launching a light-hearted contest to see who can identify the greatest number of technical errors in the painting that'll appear on the dust jacket of her next novel, Deadly Shoals, which we've reproduced below. (She includes relevant passages from the manuscript to give readers a hint about what to look for.)
We also received a letter from Ysabeau Wilce, who told us about Tumbling After, a novel by our mutual acquaintance, Paul Witcover. "He ended up with the exact same cover issues that James Bernard Frost is facing now," says Wilce. "Tumbling After was a psychological thriller about a young boy's mental breakdown… Still, due to the [science-fiction/fantasy] elements in the novel, the publisher put a pulpy SF/F cover on it, and threw it into the SF/F section where it died—because it wasn't an SF/F novel!"
When I asked Witcover for his thoughts on the matter, he allowed that although some readers might see the book as not-SF, but noted, "To my mind it's definitely got a strong and integral SF component—just not the kind of SF that is communicated by the cover." That's why he was concerned when the novel was first published: "I felt that my cover was going to repel the people who never read SF but would really get into my book," he explained, "and it was going to make SF readers who bought my book on the basis of the cover feel, once they started reading, that they had been misled into thinking they were getting a more traditional SF novel." He adds that his publishers initially rejected those worries, only to act as if they'd independently recognized the problem when it came time to design the trade paperback, which wound up "merely obscuring the worst sfnal aspects of the cover," Witcover concludes—"much improving it in the process, I admit." (Now that I've seen them both, I concur!)
Meanwhile, in response to last week's item about memoirist Kody Scott being sought by the LAPD, one reader was struck by a comment from Wanda Coleman about how often criminals who turn into authors slip back into their former pursuits. Writer Frank Coffey cites the example of Frank Earl Andrews, whose literary efforts led to a career in editing, including his own imprint at paperback house Zebra Books (now a division of Kensington) in the 1970s. In one of his collections, Prose and Cons, Andrews published a story by Manson Family member Leslie Van Houten; the two were briefly engaged, and Andrews eventually landed a book contract for a collection of their correspondence. "Despite these successes, he ended up back in prison for manslaughter," Coffey recalls. "For those of us who knew him it was a sad and, in retrospect, seemingly inevitable fall."

Ordered this for a Sebring convertible upgrade (140A stock alternator). Ordered on a Friday and received it on Tuesday - excellent/fast shipping! Product is EXACTLY as described. Although the wire is CCA (perfectly acceptable in this application) it is very nice. Jacketing is very supple and the cable is very flexible. On the fence if this is true 1/0 cable however - compared to some older L/A 2/0 wire the wire itself is the same size (this has zero impact on my positive review - look again at the price :-) ). Supplied accessories (down to the zip ties) were all very nice quality. If I had only thought ahead and ordered the crimping tool!!!

More from the "What Could it Hurt?/How Was I Supposed to Know?" Dept.
He says that it may even be technically possible one day to transplant a womb into a man, and use hormone injections to allow a pregnancy to succeed.
Children are the little factors that are constantly left out of western individualist moral and legal calculations about the "purely private" nature of sexuality and its relation to the state.
Show me a culture that despises virginity and I'll show you a culture that despises children. And once you've settled on despising them, why not make the production of them something for the lab guys to screw around with as much as they like? It's not like they matter. Sure we may sentencing many to death and some to a lifetime of misery, but what the hell? We've got funding!
And we have the gall to speak as though we are morally superior to our wretched bishops and the Islamic Bronze Age Thugs! A culture that permits this is every bit as depraved as Sodom. And we choose it freely, not under the ignorance and duress that characterizes the Islamosphere. God help us.

Radio Iowa has a great play-by-play of a McCain-Palin rally in Cedar Rapids. With the "Top Gun" soundtrack heralding the arrival of the ticket (seriously), the crowd was pumped—for Sarah Palin. A casual poll before the rally suggested that Palin was the event's star, and that sentiment was backed up when the audience started filing out five minutes into McCain's speech.
Radio Iowa:
The Top Gun soundtrack began playing just about the time McCain's plane arrived. Shortly after 11 o'clock (an hour late), McCain and Palin took the stage as the Garth Brooks song "Standing Outside the Fire" played and the crowd cheered.
"We want Sarah," the crowd began chanting as Palin said, "Thank you," to begin the rally.
[...] I look up, about five minutes into McCain's address and see a steady stream of people walking out of the rally. They just came to see Palin apparently.

Super Rugby: Brumbies hammer Rebels to keep play-off hopes alive
Related links

The Brumbies shrugged off some tough recent contests and returned to form with this 37-10 thrashing of the Rebels.
Fly-half Matt Toomua scored two first-half tries, together with others from full-back Pat McCabe and Scott Sio to give the Canberra-based Brumbies a 25-3 half-time lead that they never looked like surrendering.
Despite a better performance from the visitors after the break, they could never cope with the Brumbies' pack, spurred on by skipper Ben Mowen and prop Ruan Smith, who saw to it that their backs had plenty of quality ball from which to take their opportunities.
Jason Woodward slotted over a penalty for the Rebels' sole score before the teams turned around, though Sam Carter took the home side further ahead with a try just two minutes into the second period.
With Ben Alexander yellow-carded the Brumbies were a man short when Scott Higginbotham pulled a try back for the Rebels, right under the posts, but a Jack Debreczeni knock-on when attempting to score just three minutes later denied them the chance to give the home side a late scare.
The Brumbies confirmed their superiority a minute from full-time when, after working through the phases, Leon Power got over in the corner for his team's sixth and final try.
The win keeps the home side in the hunt for the play-offs and possible honours, though the Rebels continue to search for some consistency in their performances and on this evidence the season's end cannot come soon enough.

The Enemy Within
Well, we're back on the roller coaster. Things had been quiet for a while. Almost 10 years with no recurrence of breast cancer #1, almost 5 years with no sign of the return of the leiomyosarcoma, getting on for three years since breast cancer #2. A scan showed up a tiny speck on a lung - "probably scarring from the surgery" - another scan showed it still there, maybe a milimetre larger - "so slow growing it's not really worth worrying about - yet" - the next showed it still there, and a little something in the liver ... "probably haemangioma, we'll keep an eye on it" ... and August's scan showed, no, it wasn't just haemangioma, it's cancerous, and it has a friend.
On the upside, 10 years on from the first time, I'm still here. I'm in the hands of one of the best cancer teams in the country. My family are wonderful. There are options, and if the first line options don't work, there are drug trials.
On the downside, for the first time in this whole sorry saga, I find myself thinking "why me?". It's never crossed my mind before. It's not like me to be feeling sorry for myself. Stephen and I have just celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary (ironically, he was the one in hospital for it this time - suffering with kidney stones) - I think we'd convinced ourselves that we were out of the woods and we could finally get on with our marriage without cancer centre stage.
So. One day at a time. The next planned hospital landmarks are an MRI in November to check on what's happening, a consultation in December, to plan ahead, and if need be, a biopsy in January. Before that we need to get Stephen through his surgery (early October). Before that I need to kick this low mood into touch. Time for some serious painting, I think.

But then it becomes very difficult to say anything. Whatever can be said about the divine can be said only through the windows, because anything that can be said is really being said about the windows, not about the sky itself. When we see beyond the windows, the sky is so vast, so limitless. It cannot be defined. All words are inapplicable; all theories are inadequate.
So one who is in the fourth has always remained silent about it, and definitions of the divine have come from the first three. If the one in the fourth has spoken at all, he has spoken in terms that seem absurd, illogical, irrational. He contradicts himself. Through contradiction he tries to show something. Not to say something; to show something.
Wittgenstein has made this distinction. He said that there are truths that can be said, and there are truths that can be shown but not said. A thing is definable because it exists among other things. It can be related to other things, compared. For example, we can always say that a table is not a chair. We can define it by reference to something else. It has a boundary to which it extends, and beyond which something else begins. Really, only the boundary is defined. A definition means the boundary from which everything else begins.
But we cannot say anything about the divine. The divine is the total, so there is no boundary; there is no frontier from which something else begins. There is no "something else." The divine is frontierless so it cannot be defined.
The fourth can only show; it can only indicate. That is why the fourth has remained mysterious. And the fourth is the most authentic, because it is not colored by human perceptions. All the great saints have indicated; they have not said anything. Whether it is Jesus, Buddha, Mahavira or Krishna, it doesn't matter. They are not saying anything; they are just indicating something - just a finger pointing to the moon.
But there is always the difficulty that you will become obsessed by the finger. The finger is meaningless; it is indicating something else. It must not catch your eye. If you want to see the moon, the finger must be absolutely forgotten.
This has been the greatest difficulty as far as the divine is concerned. You see the indication and you feel that this indication is, itself, the truth. Then the whole purpose is destroyed. The finger is not the moon; they are absolutely different. The moon can be shown by the finger, but one must not cling to the finger. If a Christian cannot forget the Bible, if a Hindu cannot forget the Gita, then the very purpose is destroyed. The whole thing becomes purposeless, meaningless and in a way non-religious, anti-religious.
Whenever one approaches the divine, one must be aware of one's own mind. If one approaches the divine through the mind, the divine becomes colored by it. If you approach the divine without mind, without you, without the human coming in, if you approach the divine as an emptiness, as a void, a nothingness, without any preconceptions, without any propensity for seeing things in a particular way - then you know the quality-lessness of the divine, otherwise not. Otherwise all the qualities we give to the divine belong to our human windows. We impose them upon the divine.

The city of Charlotte remains committed to keeping control of its airport, but officials said little Thursday even as the General Assembly advanced a new bill to put a commission in charge.
City Manager Ron Carlee only reiterated an earlier comment made by Mayor Dan Clodfelter, in which Clodfelter said he is "disappointed" about the new Republican-led legislation.
The mayor said he thought the airport would be "better served if we can first find a resolution of this dispute among interests here in Charlotte and then decide how to put that solution into legislation."
Carlee said he is "intentionally not commenting ... as part of a good-faith effort to facilitate a collaborative environment as the elected officials work to resolve policy differences."
Carlee's tone was echoed by council members, who refrained from some of their bombast from 2013, when the General Assembly passed its first bill to shift control of the airport away from the City Council.
Democrat John Autry declined to comment Thursday, saying he would refer any questions to Carlee's and Clodfelter's statements.
Republican Ed Driggs said Thursday that he "would like to see the city and state cooperate and explore the best way to run the airport. We're still evaluating the bill."
Driggs said he has an "open mind" about the airport, but he added that the city has run the airport successfully and said he would need to see the results of a formal review to convince him there needs to be a change.
Driggs is one of five new council members serving since summer 2013, when the city and the legislature last clashed over Charlotte Douglas. There are 11 council members, along with the mayor.
It's unclear how up-to-date the new council is on the airport issue. City Attorney Bob Hagemann said the council has met only one time on the issue in closed session since the new council took office in December.
A new bill that could end the controversy over control of Charlotte Douglas passed the North Carolina Senate on Wednesday and moved to the state House for final approval.
For months, the Federal Aviation Administration, the city, the new airport commission created last year and a North Carolina Superior Court judge have been unable or unwilling to resolve a stalemate.
The FAA said it needs to know whether the commission is part of the city government or a separate entity before it will decide whether to let the commission run the airport. At the same time, a judge has said he needs the FAA to make a decision before moving forward in the city's lawsuit to block the commission.
The new bill definitively states that the airport commission is an agency of the city government. State Sen. Bob Rucho, who is a primary supporter of the push for a commission, said the new bill will clarify airport ownership, clearing the way for the FAA to make a ruling.
It's unclear what the city's strategy may be if the House approves the bill. That could happen early next week.
In its lawsuit last summer, the city won an injunction against the commission operating the airport. Charlotte might not have to seek another injunction against the new legislation.
"We are following the legislation and analyzing the language, but given the ongoing litigation it would be inappropriate for me to comment beyond that," Hagemann said.

North Korea
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a country in East Asia, located in the northern half of the Korean Peninsula bordering South Korea and China. Its capital, Pyongyang, is the country's largest city by both land area and population. It is a single-party state led by the Korean Workers' Party (KWP), and governed by Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un since 2012. It has a population of 24,052,231 (UN-assisted DPRK census 2008) made up of Koreans and a smaller Chinese minority. Japan 'opened' Korea in 1876 and annexed it in 1910. The Republic of Korea (ROK) was founded with US support in the south in August 1948 and the Soviet-backed Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) in the north in September that year.
US spy ship captured in in 1968 to go on display in North Korea
Most Popular
If there was ever any doubt about what happened to the only US Navy ship that is being held by a foreign government, North Korea has cleared it up. It is in Pyongyang. And it looks like it is there to stay.
With a fresh coat of paint and a new home along the Pothong River, the USS Pueblo, a spy ship seized off North Korea's east coast in the late 1960s, is expected to be unveiled as the centrepiece of a renovated war museum to commemorate what North Korea calls "Victory Day", the 60th anniversary today of the signing of an armistice that ended the fighting in the Korean war.
The ship is North Korea's greatest cold war prize. It hopes the Pueblo will be a potent symbol of how the country has stood up to the power of the United States, once in an all-out ground war and now with its push to develop the nuclear weapons and sophisticated missiles it needs to threaten the US mainland.
Many of the crew who served on the vessel, then spent 11 months in captivity in North Korea, want to bring the Pueblo home. Throughout its history, they argue, the navy's motto has been "don't give up the ship". The Pueblo, in fact, is still listed as a commissioned US Navy vessel.
But with relations generally fluctuating in a narrow band between bad to dangerously bad, the United States has made little effort to get back its ship. At times, outsiders were not even sure where North Korea was keeping the ship or what it planned to do with it.
The planned display of the ship by North Korea hangs over the heads of the crew members who have long campaigned for its return.

One of the best stuffings I've ever made, or for that matter, ever had! Great textures and blending of flavors. I paired this with the red currant and citrus glazed turkey, and it was a great complement to this dish. Will definitely make again!
This is the BEST stuffing I've ever had. I substituted dried currants for the dries prunes.
I had this at a friends this Thanksgiving. Wow!! This is the one I will use from now on! All year long!! My friend added some sausage to it...PERFECT!
Wonderful! Did not end up looking at all like the photo, but great taste, texture. Fruit mixture can be made ahead, just toss bread and pecans before baking. Big hit at our Thanksgiving, and will be a family tradition now !

The versatile attacker is full of ambition and aims to reach the same level as the Argentina international and secure a permanent transfer to the Rossoneri.Adel Taarabt has voiced his admiration for Lionel Messi and aims to become as important to AC Milan as the Argentine is to Barcelona.
The 24-year-old has impressed at the San Siro side since joining the club on loan from QPR, after an unsuccessful temporary spell at Fulham before the winter break, and he's keen to earn himself a permanent move to Clarence Seedorf's side.
"I am not surprised with my performances at Milan so far. I know what I can do and I feel like an important player at Milan," Taarabt told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "I want to become the Messi of Milan. Players like Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are an inspiration. I am not at their level yet, but it's my objective to get there. I still have to prove myself, but I believe in my own qualities.
"When Milan signed me, I told myself that I have to grab this opportunity with both hands. I have already thrown away four years and cannot afford to waste any more time. I have little time to convince Milan, but I want to take this chance."
Taarabt has a contract with QPR until June 2016, but Milan have an option to make the winger's stay at the club permanent at the end of the season for a set fee.

High ticket prices 'unacceptable', FSF warns
The cost of watching live football in Britain is rising sharply and could drive young fans away from the game, according to Football Supporters' Federation chairman Malcolm Clarke.
A BBC survey has revealed the average cost of the cheapest adult ticket to watch English league football has risen by 11.7 per cent - or more than five times the rate of inflation.
The Price of Football poll, which includes figures from 166 clubs in 10 divisions across Britain, found the average price of the most affordable ticket in the top four divisions in England has risen from £19.01 to £21.24 in the last year.
Individual matchday tickets for the Barclays Premier League cost between £15 and £126, with the most expensive season ticket costing £1,955.
"There's a danger of alienation between fans and players at the top of the game," Clarke said.
"Younger fans in particular are being priced out and if they don't get the live football bug at a young age they might not become season ticket holders.
"If you compare prices to other countries like Germany there are huge disparities. Season tickets at (Bundesliga champions) Borussia Dortmund start from 225 euros (£183) which includes three Champions League games - that works out at about £8.90 per match and includes free public transport.
"In comparison our prices are simply unacceptable."
The current rate of inflation based on the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) is 2.2 per cent, showing the cost of watching football is rising disproportionately with everyday essential items.
The BBC survey found that Arsenal lead the way with the most expensive matchday and season tickets. Their highest-priced ticket for a single game costs £126 while £1,955 is their most expensive season ticket.
The Gunners' cheapest season ticket is £985.
While Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis insists the club remain focused on offering fans value for money - their cheapest matchday ticket costs a reasonable £26 - Arsenal Independent Supporters' Association vice chair Paul Matz has called for an improved discount scheme so long-standing fans are not priced out.
"Arsenal have traditionally always had expensive season tickets and they justify it by saying they have a waiting list, which they do," Matz said.
"They're not under pressure from the market. Although people do give up their season tickets there are people there waiting to take them up. That's the reality that we face.
"What we say is they need to do much more to reward loyalty and the people who have followed the club through thick and thin over 10, 20 and 30 years.
"The reason the prices compare unfavourably with other clubs is because they have a waiting list but what it means is that people in low income brackets are forced to give up their tickets."
Wigan (£255) and Manchester City (£275) offer the Premier League's cheapest season tickets, but they are still much more expensive than Scottish third division side Montrose, who boast the cheapest at £90.
Newcastle offer the best value in the Barclays Premier League on a matchday, with the cost of the cheapest ticket, programme, cup of tea and a pie totalling £23.
However, the prize for the team that are the cheapest to support in the Football League goes to Sheffield United.
The cost of a ticket, programme, a pie and a cup of tea totals £17.20 with their special matchday ticket offer of £10.
Kevin Cookson, a spokesman for Sheffield United, said: "We offer a £10 ticket a few times a season. It's not for every game but our cheapest match ticket is a tenner.
"The price of our usual matchday ticket depends on the game, but for a couple of games a season, it is a tenner for all areas of the ground.
"You want to get bums on seats and want supporters through the gates every week to watch your games, especially in the current economic climate that we make football affordable for everyone."
The club ran the offer for the npower League One clash against Bournemouth at Bramhall Lane and saw their biggest crowd of the season so far - 18,790.
Sheffield United commercial director Steve Coakley added: "The ticket initiative for our Bournemouth game was a success with our fans and we will continue to explore other opportunities to provide good value days out at Bramall Lane this season."
Elsewhere, Celtic charge the most in the Scottish Premier League for their cheapest matchday ticket (£36.30) but they are the only club with a price point over £35.
In Scotland, half of the 42 teams, offer football fans a day out for less than £20.
Again, it is at Montrose where the cheapest matchday ticket can be bought for just £6.
Other figures in the BBC reveal the most expensive cup of tea in football can be bought for £2.50 at Manchester United and Manchester City, while Leeds' £4 charge for a matchday programme is the most expensive in Britain.

First off, I have to say I've been remiss in writing this post, as we did a self-guided tour of Clay's recommended spots back in late October, but I have to give him credit for what was an absolutely awesome 3 days. Clays' recommendations greatly expanded the list we had and he helped make it one of the nicest trips we'd ever been on. We got to nearly all his recommended spots, and here are my own throughts about the places we visited:

Pralus: Loved it. Love their little bundle of 10 50-gm single origin bars. (Perfect for "portion control, too!). Bought a lot of stuff here -- all fantastic.

Pierre Marcolini: Small ganaches with very diverse and outstanding flavors and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. I found myself liking the smaller pieces, too. Let's me try more at any one time.

Victor et Hugo: Smaller variety, but very intense chocolate. LOVED the "hardcover book" box they came in. (Had an elastic strap and all, and I pictured myself keeping this one and re-using it to safely take chocolates with me when traveling.)

We didn't spend much time in Michel Cluizel, Richart, or La Maison du Chocolat, as there are shops here in NY, and we wanted to devote our time to new places.

Michel Chaudun: incredible truffles. Period. Other selections also good, nothing bad about this shop, but the truffles stood out. This was our last stop on one day, and the cashier saw all our little bags from all our stops and was even kind enough to offer us a large bag for all of them. We'd dropped a reasonable bundle at the place, so we didn't feel too embarrassed.

La Chocolaterie Jaques Genin: DON'T MISS!!! There was NOTHING I didn't like about this place. The pastries were top drawer and if I were moving to Paris I'd want to live next door to his shop. The chocolates are packed in tins that are flat as a pancake but they're fresh as can be and I found them to have layers of flavor and notes. The staff were helpful and friendly. Also -- normally, I can take or leave caramels. Take them home. They're about 1 Euro apiece and worth it. I had never tasted a truly fresh, made-last-night-right-upstairs caramel and these were the best anywhere. The smoothness was almost indescribable and there were about 10 different flavors. Plain and ginger were personal faves, but that's nit-picking. The guy knows his caramel -- and his chocolate.

Sadaharu Aoki: OK, of the places we visited, this is one that was interesting, but probably one I wouldn't visit again. The chocolates were displayed like art pieces and looked very good. Most of the chocolate flavors were Asian-inspired (yuzu, etc.) and I'm definitely glad we went, but once was enough. The chocolates were good to try but didn't leave me wanting more.

Christian Constant: We'd visited here before and the best is their wide selection of single-origin bars. There's a cafe that normally has fabulous pastries but it was closed the day we went and even the case of chocolates was a bit sparse and missing some selections. We returned this time because our experience was very good at the first visit a year or so ago, and I'd recommend it. We probably just hit it on an off day. It happens.

Pierre Herme: Pastries that belong in the Museum of Modern Art. Chocolates from a master. Lines always out the door and justified. Enough said.

Patrick Roger: Terrific chocolates, fantastic selection of bars, with varied origins and percentages, and I bought a lot of them. If you like chocolates filled with marzipan, this place had good ones. Not my thing personally, but there was a good diversity of flavored ganaches. A good stop.

Chocolate Jean-Paul Hevin: Another good place for bars.

L'Etoiloe d'Or: Clay sindicated that this place was considered the best chocolate shop in the world. We liked it very much, but that's a high bar to set. Smaller selection of chocolates, but very good, LOTS of stuff to look at, bars, etc., and the non-English speaking staff was SO NICE! I'd say this was the HAPPIEST shop we visited and I'd be happy to return.

Cafe-wise, we hit Laduree (always a mob) and Jacques Genin as indicated above, didn't hit Angelina this time, but we loved -- loved Patisserie des Reves. Small sit-down place in the back and we had to wait and it was worth it. The pastries displayed in thre front of the shop are a whole scene, each selection either raise or lowered on a fancy pulley or in cases embedded in the wall. Fantastic cafe.

I should say that, while this was a lot to do, with a lot to eat, in three days, we WALKED the entire trip. It was about 8 or 9 miles each of the first two days, with less walking the third day, which was Sunday, so fewer shop were open.

Interestingly, other than a pastry each day, we didn't actually eat a huge amount of chocolate. We sampled, but didn't overdo it. Instead, we tended to buy things to bring home (bars, in my case!) to savor. of course, all the places we visited were expensive. This was absolutely NOT chocolate to be gulped, and I don't like to do that with chocolate anyway. My chocolate philosophy is to buy the best you can and savor it, or wait until you can. Less is more when it's really good.

I'd recommend such a trip to anyone, and even better if you can go on one of Clay's trips, do it. We didn't hit the restaurants where he did his chocolate and wine pairings on his trip, but one has to save SOMETHING for next time!

Cheers!

Keith

Poem Yearning For A Break From Work
Take me away, was a touching poem. Life seems to be getting too predictable for the poet and he want to get away from it all and find solace in nature's lap. It is okay to do so for a while and …
Published: Feb 2009
Take Me Away
and hear the clomp clomp of my boss' high heels
for once in my life I want to be taken away
to the rivers and mountains on my four wheels
where the birds chirp all day long
and the whole place is carpeted with green
where fresh milk and curd comes from the cows
and no technology can be heard or seen
just the clouds, the river, the mountains and the sun
and at night beneath the countless stars I shall sleep
in the morning the sun will kiss my face
I will belong to a place where no one but silence speaks
so take me away to the mountains today
for inside these four walls I can no longer stay

Jimmy Carr is in the papers again for a joke about Down Syndrome.
The joke was (someone feel free to edit it out if they feel it's not appropriate to read here):
Now as always certain groups cry outrage, but in the DVD of his tour where he said this, he also made a VERY interesting point. He said that the audience are the regulators of comedy. If an act makes a joke and nobody laughs, that joke will be considered not funny and dropped from the act, if they laugh, it's in. So as an audience, people have the choice to laugh/leave/whatever. He also said that he tells jokes, no motive or reasoning behind them, he just tells jokes and thats it. If you are offended, that is your choice to be offended.Originally Posted by Jimmy Carr
I'm not siding with what he said but the part about the audience is correct though. If he made that joke and not one single person laughed, he'd drop that joke. So to criticise him for saying it should be evened out by criticising the thousands who have seen him and laughed at it.
dave.81 (24th November 2011)
*I won't repeat the joke as even I believe it goes too far but its basically about how to get a baby to give u a BJ - Even chubby brown drew the line well before that!
If you don't like his jokes don't watch him. Quite simple really.
Same goes for the PC brigade after Ricky Gervais.
I dont think any comedy needs to be offensive to such an extent, yeah i will watch comedians like Jimmy Carr but i think, look at comedians like Lee Evans, Ross Nobel, Shappi Corsandi and the like, genuinly funny without being offensive
having watched a comedian die on stage with the first half of a routine filled with innuendo and knob gags, and get thoroughly appreciated in the second half by switching to political satire. I can confirm that jimmy carr is right, the audience regulates comedy. The question is the limits of taste that the comedian in question is prepared to push.
Some people will be 'offended' and this will be used as censorship, especially when they are taken out of context. See Family Guy or take Lenny Bruce and Bill Hicks. They wouldn't be as funny doing 'Lee Evans' Jokes.
If you don't like it, don't watch. If lots don't like it then they'll change the act.
People judge a comedian based on what he is known for...lee evans would never do jokes like jimmy carr, and jimmy carr would never do jokes like lee evans. Frankie Boyle + Jimmy Carr = Highly offensive - yet two of the countries most successful comedians. Lee Evans + Peter Kay = Not offensive - yet two of the countries most successful comedians.

Explain to me why babies giving blowjobs is funny? I'm sorry but no intelligent or civilised person could find that anything but offensive.

I'm intrigued as to what Division the PC Brigade belongs to.

I found Jimmys first dvd or two to be funny but after that it seems he's pushing too hard to the point I find myself cringing rather than laughing as he goes too far. I haven't seen his latest DVD and probably won't bother.
Then again there's an audience for everything, I've never found Ricky Gervais to be funny but many find him hilarious
I think (not an exact quote here) that Jimmy Carr also said on the same tour "my job is to make you laugh, to produce endorphins and make you happy. If you've laughed at my gig, job done".
A comedians job is to make you laugh. If you laugh, he has succeeded.
In the same way a jester might have been seen as an idiot; his job was to entertain, he entertained.
