Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 x64
Random freezes appearing
I seem to have an issue as of late with random freezes in various intervals where everything hangs for a period of 1-3 seconds.
This had only started happening in the past 2 days, with the same settings and programs I've been running for months now without problems.
I have not made any modifications to the system, nor have I installed/uninstalled any programs. This happens even when my computer is idle with only winamp running.
Comodo, MWB, SAS and Spybot all return clean, HDD defragmented also.
This only happens on Windows 7, and does not happen if I boot into Ubuntu.
|My System Specs
|10 Jul 2011
Windows 10, Home Clean Install
Maybe these ideas may help
Here are my solutions to freezing, and an excellent article, which I hope is of some help
Go to search type device manager and look for any yellow warning markers
Download and run malwarebytes, a full scan after you update
Run antivirus scan
Check memory with memtest86
Make sure that you are not over heating.
Try in safe mode; report back if it works properly.
Try a clean boot
Make sure PSU is working properly
If overclocking, restore to original
Test hard drive at company website.
Test in safe mode, does it still happen?
Try with clean boot..

Fr. Anthony considers Christianity, which became "Christendom" only when emperors and kings became Christian:
Christianity was only ever something of a minority until it was transformed into something political and imposed by force by all secular powers that found it useful. The culture inspired by Christianity in Europe is nearly gone except in "museum" form (eg. Mozart Masses as concert pieces, etc.).
Is Christianity universal? Is there any interpretation possible of Christ's "Go and evangelise all nations…"? If Christianity is neither politics nor culture, then it has to "interface" with its adepts somehow. In the end of the day, Europe's roots are pagan – same thing with Native Americans (red indians) and aborigines – everyone in fact. Golly! We are in a mess!
To repeat: "If Christianity is neither politics nor culture, then it has to 'interface' with its adepts somehow."
A wise statement. The retort of modernist Christianity seems to be that the only interface required is of the mind: a free-floating, incorporeal ideology, with no temporal attachments whatsoever; no family, no people, no soil, and no role in governance. The West has wholeheartedly embraced this gnostic vision, with the result that the West now has no more connection between the physical and the metaphysical. Into this vacuum steps the Muslim, who either joins this superficial, soulless culture, or stands with his Faith Militant against the atheistic West with its aging populations, bizarre sexual deviancies, and plunging birthrates.
Western Christendom is ceding its territories without a fight. When Muslims, Jews and Hindus move to the West to be good Muslims, Jews and Hindus, then it's clear that the West no longer considers itself Christian, and Christians shuold give up the pretense of evangelization. Christians have adopted the gnostic vision and jettisoned their territory and any temporal attachment, so they will be displaced. They shrink into their dwindling parishes like the doomed Shakers and congratulate each other on their ultimate sacrifice, giving up their countries so other faiths can reproduce themselves in their stead. Christians thus commit the sin of self-loathing; they do not believe they deserve to exist.
And here is Porter's contribution.

We are about ready to book a cabin on Triumph. We have never been on Carnival so I am not familiar with the cabin sizes but have heard they are bigger than most. So my question is (and please tell me if you think I am nuts lol) we will have DH, myself and three sons, ages 19, 15 and 13. Are we going to kill each other? We will do an inside cabin as we only plan to sleep there, would rather spend the extra money on fun than a window or balcony.

A solemn event dedicated to the 73rd anniversary of the complete lifting of the blockade of Leningrad was held in the House of Moscow on January 30, the "Minsk-news" agency reports.
More than 60 victims of the siege of Leningrad residing in Minsk participated in the celebration. Among those who came to the meeting to congratulate its participants on the event was the Advisor for Culture of the Embassy of the Russian Federation in the Republic of Belarus Margarita Novodvorskaya.
"We know that the residents of the besieged Leningrad experienced a terrible tragedy, thousands of people died. On the one hand, it is a symbol of the tragedy. On the other hand it is a symbol of fortitude and courage. You defended your beautiful city on the Neva. You wouldn't submit to fascism. So is the fate of those who had to go through the blockade that they are now living in different countries of the former Soviet Union. For many of you, Belarus became your home. I wish you good health, continue to be so persistent and unconquered as it was in those terrible years", said M. Novodvorskaya, and on behalf of the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the Republic of Belarus Alexander Surikov handed a bouquet of flowers to the Chairman of the Belarusian Union of Leningrad Blockade Victims Mariya Yagodnitsyna.
"We have arranged this solemn event in honor of the residents and participants of the defense of Leningrad. Many years have passed since then - 73 years, but nothing has been forgotten. Our youth can never be returned, we were deprived of it by the war", said M. Yagodnitsyna. "The month of January is a great holiday in the lives of those who had to go through that terrible blockade. On January 18, 1943 the blockade of Leningrad was broken and on 27 January 1944 it was completely raised".
According to M. Yagodnitsyna, today Belarus is the home of 510 victims of the siege of Leningrad and there are only 191 of them in Minsk.
"Today there are only 23 residents of the capital who were awarded the medal "For the Defense of Leningrad". But as to the participants in the defense, their number is even less, because this medal was also awarded to members of the home front", emphasized M. Yagodnitsyna.
As part of the concert-requiem, the memory of those killed during the siege of Leningrad was revered by a minute of silence.
The participants in the event were happy to listen to the heart-piercing poems about the war read by the poetess Valintina Polikanina. Various pop groups presented their skill and talent too.
"For 8 years the House of Moscow in Minsk together with the Belarusian Union of Leningrad Blockade Victims and the Embassy of the Russian Federation in the Republic of Belarus has held yearly events dedicated to the complete lifting of the blockade of Leningrad, as well as the beginning of the blockade on 8 September. It is sacred to all of us. We always invite not only those who went through the blockade, but also college students, university students, because there must be a continuity of generations. Young people should not only be aware of this event, but also to feel its importance", said Svetlana Panteleyeva, Chief Specialist of the Representation of the Moscow Center for International Cooperation (House of Moscow in Minsk).

If this happens, you are going to lose your entire work, so perhaps it's best to think twice before making use of such hacks and tools that would bring you an unfair competitive edge. Still, there are many other players who use unlimited resources generators, so perhaps you can use them yourself in order to balance the forces. The decision is yours, but take your time and think if you really want to cheat or if not having to work for your gems, gold and elixir is going to ruin the charm of the game. Opinions are split, so you should follow your heart and do what you think it's best for your personal fun.

COLUMBUS, Ga. – As summer approaches, animal shelters across the country can often times reach maximum capacity. This year, more than 700 animals have been taken in by the Animal Arc Rescue.
Patricia Hiller is adopting a kitten and helping reduce the number of animals in the shelter.
"It makes me feel sad. I wish a lot more people would come out and adopt cats. I came in here yesterday and I was overwhelmed by the number of little kittens that I saw," said Hiller.
Kitten season started at the end of March and will last until the end of October. Cats can have three to four litters during the summer, so it's important to spay and neuter your cats to help lower the number of kittens being born.
If adopting a kitten or cat is not an option for you, there is still something you can do.The foster program gives people the opportunity to temporarily house pets until permanent homes can be found.
If you can adopt a pet, Animal Ark Rescue's owner Sabine Stull says you can save money and contribute to something even better.
"Also by adopting you are saving a life. When you adopt an animal that is fully vetted, spayed, neutered and micro chipped, and with all these things already done you save money, It usually costs 300 to 400 dollars with a veterinarian," said Stull.
One of Animal Arc's missions is to lower the animal euthanasia rate.
"We are getting there and it's a combined effort with other rescues, but right now the euthanasia rate is down to about five or six percent," said Stull.

Wilmers reinforces M&T commitment to Hudson City deal
M&T Bank Corp. Chairman and CEO Robert G. Wilmers said he believes the bank's planned acquisition of Hudson City Bancorp will be its "next shining success story" but is determined to resolve regulatory issues first.
"Hudson City is quite simply a great complement to our existing operations – one that equals and in some ways exceeds the potential we've seen in our existing markets," Wilmers said in remarks to shareholders Tuesday at the Buffalo-based bank's annual meeting.
M&T announced a $3.7 billion deal for New Jersey-based Hudson City in August 2012, but the acquisition has been delayed as M&T works to satisfy Federal Reserve concerns about its Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money-laundering program. The two banks are aiming to complete the deal by the end of this year.
Wilmers said there are "a lot of good reasons why, even in the face of challenges and disappointments," M&T has stuck with the Hudson City deal.
He said New Jersey has a "relatively affluent and growing population" of 8.4 million people – more than live in upstate New York, Maryland or Delaware, which are three other M&T markets. "New Jersey also has a high concentration of valuable commercial and small-business prospects – also more than in those three other markets."
Wilmers said banks are operating in a challenging economic and regulatory climate.
"Too many banks are competing for too few loans in an economy that continues to be characterized by slow and uneven growth," he said.
More-comprehensive regulations have led M&T to bolster its spending on regulatory, compliance and risk-related infrastructure, Wilmers said. M&T's spending on those areas last year amounted to $265 million, equal to 10.3 percent of the bank's total operating expense, he said. That total was also more than double what it spent in 2012 and was nearly four times as much as in 2007.
"To put that in perspective, M&T spent more on regulatory requirements last year than we did on personnel costs for our entire network of 721 branches," he said.
In light of the economy, increased regulatory costs and higher mandatory capital requirements, "it will be harder than ever for banks to generate returns at the level at which shareholders have been accustomed," Wilmers said.
But he also said he is "optimistic about our future and confident that we will continue to be able to outperform our peers in the banking industry, because I believe that our business model is more relevant, and our core values more important, than ever before."
Wilmers praised M&T's performance in Maryland and Delaware, and said the bank "has been growing strongly in Buffalo." In the six-year period since the financial crisis, he said, M&T's deposits in Western New York have grown by $2.67 billion, or 52 percent, and its loans in the region have increased by $735 million, or 22 percent.
Along with being a prominent player in U.S. banking, M&T is also a major local employer. As of the end of 2013, M&T had 6,181 employees in Western New York, up 28 percent from 2007. In the period since the financial crisis, M&T has contributed $27.2 million to local nonprofits, he said.
About 270 people attended the meeting, but only one of them, shareholder Paul Durnan, of Burlington, Ont., asked Wilmers a question during the allotted time. Durnan asked that with so many small banks in New Jersey, whether by acquiring Hudson City, M&T intended to "nibble at several of those small banks to make a much bigger Hudson City."
Wilmers said the bank's priority is securing regulators' approval of its upgraded Bank Secrecy Act/anti-money-laundering program so that the Hudson City deal can go forward. "I think it would be audacious of us to think about doing anything more than working on getting that approval," he said.
Following the meeting, Wilmers commented on M&T's decision to stop providing banking services to the Cuban Interests Section in the United States. The issue attracted some national media attention when Cuba suspended consular services in the United States this year, unable to find a replacement for M&T. The section handles diplomatic matters like visas and passports for its citizens and visitors.
Wilmers said the "know your customer" provisions tied to the Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering practices were daunting.
"We were the Cubans' only account in the Untied States, and we had 6,000 items a week, 300,00 items a year to process," Wilmers said. "We had to know the people behind every one of those. It was a very costly process."
"We told the Cuban Interests Section about two years before that we would like them to find another bank," he said. "Even with the assistance of the State Department, they were not able to find another bank. And after two years, we felt we just couldn't continue; it was too expensive."
Wilmers weighed in on some other topics:
• The economy: "My projection is the economy is getting better. It's getting better very slowly. I think you can see that from any kind of indicators. I guess the one I look at most is our loan demand and the industry's loan demand. From there, we look at what's going on in housing, and that is another great indicator. And that's been doing better, too."
• Whether the process to meet the Federal Reserve's regulatory requirements is taking longer than he expected: "It's more complicated than I would have thought."

Laptop won't connect to the internet
I am having a problem with the internet on my laptop. It takes a long time to connect to the internet in my apartment block. This has been happening for the last month and 9 days (before this it was connecting fine). I use my laptop in my college and my apartment. When I connect to the internet in my college (or at home) it will connect to the internet straight away.
When I connect to the internet in the college and then go back to my apartment and connect to the internet it normally connects fairly quick, but if I didn't connect to the internet in the college it would take a hell of a lot longer to connect to the internet (anywhere from a an hour or two to nine + hours). During that time it will connect to the router but say limited/no internet access and then it will disconnect and repeat.
How I know something is wrong with my laptop (until recently I thought it was something wrong with the router) is because I can connect to the internet in my apartment straight away if I use Ubuntu (I have Ubuntu 11.04 on an external hard drive).
Why is this happening and can anyone help (please)?
I don't have access/permission to do anything with the router if that's the problem.

Our chilling future
So terrified, he deleted my comment. So it's expanded upon here:
Hunger Games: Catching Fire is out, and Lew Rockwell and others are giddy over it, like they were over V in 2005.
I'm not sure how these silly, overwrought movies turn middle-aged libertarians (who doubtless consider themselves critical, skeptical thinkers) into teen-aged groupies. 'V' was the typical Atwoodian fever dream about the Christian theocracy the Left is convinced lurks everywhere just one election cycle away, ready to outlaw sex and turn women into brood mares. When the future rolls out and large swathes of liberal, feminist Britain are under the control of patriarchal Muslim imams, 'V' will be remembered as low comedy.
'The Hunger Games', where a decadent central government devotes huge amounts of resources to training teenagers to kill each other in elaborate settings, would make a good after-school TV special for alienated teens feeling their oats. It's a compelling tale for imaginative 14-year olds: paternalistic government (Dad!) lives off the fat of the land while good looking teenagers out in the sticks are taken from their barely-fed parents, who toil night and day in the mines. Having the kind of brain I do, the questions started right there. What are they mining? Coal? Metals? Dirt? Doesn't that require refineries and transportation infrastructure? And don't you need a well-paid workforce that goes to engineering and business schools to run those operations? And doesn't all that have to be paid for? How much wealth could the government extract before people decided it wasn't worth it to work so hard at the government's steel refinery? Didn't we get to see exactly how this sort of thing played out from 1945 to 1991 across much of Eurasia?
In the real world, resource extraction supports a lot of blue collar and middle class prosperity, and any society wealthy enough and technologically advanced enough to host such fantastic, rococco pageants would just automate the mines and pay their lower-skilled citizens not to work. (This should be sounding familiar already, and you'll note our teenagers aren't being drafted into unisex gladiator contests. In fact, they're given gladiator video games and everybody's fat and happy instead of skinny and resentful.)
Libertarians lap up this flapdoodle like sweet cream, donning their sackcloth and warning us that Fascism Is Here. Where do they come up with this stuff--Mother Jones? Even I know fascism was a political creature of inter-war Europe and a reaction to Soviet-sponsored, internationalist Marxism. I'm not sure Americans could be fascist if they wanted to be.
I've mentioned Rockwell's constant drumbeat about the evil autocratic State (which admittedly can be all of that) before, and it's getting tiresome because out here in reality some very ugly conflicts are shaping up. Lew's sites go on about State Oppression so much, and do backflips around so many other obvious issues, I'm wondering if it's deliberate.
In particular, libertarians never mention that vast, r-selected proletarian tide which is literally waxing fat off transfer payments from K-selected producers. What happens when that multi-billion dollar system of payments goes down? In all their "collapse" scenarioes, libertarians never seem to have thought about places where the civil order really did break down, like in Yugoslavia, or New Orleans after Katrina, or Syria this very minute.
When the system collapses due to a plundered tax base, there isn't any "police brutality" or "TSA thuggery" because the government can't make payroll and all the police and TSA employees have gone home to protect their families. And if there's a systemic breakdown of the civil order here, we are going to deeply regret all that r-selected, Third World vibrancy the libertarians screamed simply had to be let in.
The organic fault lines are not really between governors and governed, because once the money runs out that no longer matters. The real fault lines are between K-selected groups and r-selected groups, tracking mostly but by no means exclusively along racial and ethnic lines. But libertarians never seem to recognize any form of social organization other than the State or the Market. They will tell you that the State exists and that Corporations exist, but somehow Nations, Faiths, Tribes and Clans do not.
This is more of that backward-looking perspective I've been on about: clerics wringing their hands over London chimneysweeps; modern liberals shrieking about brutal WASP overseers horsewhipping their servile African workforce. And libertarians, who seem to think only in terms of the State and this large, featureless Peasant blob, and they're out there on the ramparts with them, in the streets of Paris, in 1789.
When the big shift from managerial democracy to anarcho-capitalism happens (and it's going to look a lot like Dubai and Singapore if you're lucky, and if you're unlucky, Mogadishu), I think the people least prepared for it will be a lot of nominal anarcho-capitalists. When it's back to blood, which has been the cycle for all of human history, they'll weep like orphans.

After awhile I realized that about 75% of what libertarians talk about is alot of noise; social experiments they get to play because of the liberal secular state. Example - gay marriage supporters will have to pound sand when there is no central power to enforce recognition of these fictitious unions upon property owners.
I think it was Rothbard who said the future won't be 1984, it will be Brave New World.

Huxley himself wrote Orwell a letter that said as much. There's simply no need to maintain expensive and potentially ambitious Thought Police when people will police themselves through indolence.

- Jason said...
Then there is the perspective that Orwell's "1984" was purposefully created as caricature, so that when the totalitarian regime took control, no one would react because it wouldn't be as bad as described in his book. Indeed, "1984" is still required reading across much of the nation's high schools, although presented by teachers under the false pretext of it being about communism. Huxley may have gloated, but Orwell probably flashed a shit-eating grin after reading that letter. I would argue that social stigma is used quite effectively against those that commit thought crimes, along with financial warfare, and so the thought police already thrive and exist just as the above poster describes it - through our own indolence.

Obviously Rockwell talks nebulously about statism for fear of running into the J.Q., were he to name names and draw up an organigram. Could he be forthright and not risk losing donors to LvMI? He chose Cultural Marxism over Paleolibertarianism, and note how infrequent Hoppe's presence has now become.

@ Jason:
The moment that social stigma ceases to have its paralyzing effect, expect the beefed-up security agencies to morph into something that approximates the NKVD, with the same ethnic complexion as Yuri Slezkin highlighted in his magisterial work.

Property owners depend upon State to secure their properties. No state, no property.
Without the framework of the state of laws, property devolves into mere possession.
- December 12, 2013 at 4:12 AM
- The Anti-Gnostic said...
As State power recedes due to fiscal and imperial collapse, that is exactly where things will head. Democratic rule will give way to ownership, and no stand-alone State to enforce extruded, made-up 'rights.'
This is why I say the last people ready for anarcho-capitalism will be the self-styled an-caps.
- December 12, 2013 at 6:49 AM
You have a nice little redoubt here. And since I rarely find much with which to disagree in your comments I thought I'd say hello and respond to something you mentioned at Mangans.
Of course, the problem could be solved by simply eliminating entitlements. And by then we'll all be too old, tired and sick to do protest. It will be the New Americans' country then.
I hope you didn't intend this facetiously, since it's exactly what I assume to occur. The bi-polar racial aspect of the entitlement edifice is so obvious that even conservatives would notice--if doing so weren't racist.
A) Old whites anticipating SS and Medicare, and
B) Young diversities anticipating the full panoply of food, medical, housing, education...ad infinitum.
Which might we suppose the increasingly non-white political class will jettison? It's really a bit pathetic. At least Faust received mortal pleasures before being dragged to hell. The baby boomers sold-out for just a promise.

Gyan: "Property owners depend upon State to secure their properties. No state, no property. Without the framework of the state of laws, property devolves into mere possession."
As they say, possession is nine-tenths of the law.

- Gyan said...
"possession is nine-tenths of the law."
perhaps, but a great moral gulf separates ownership and mere possession.
If I take something that you do not own, but merely possess, I do not commit a theft.
- December 12, 2013 at 11:57 PM
- Gyan said...
Is An-cap viable?. Has any capitalistic system existed without the framework of laws and security provided by the State?
- December 12, 2013 at 11:59 PM
- The Anti-Gnostic said...
Gyan: I'm not sure you actually read my posts, as I've already described this. As democratic governments lurch toward socialism then collapse and chaos, other institutions will fill the power vacuum. We are headed round to that very old arrangement, where the State was a matter of who owned the territory instead of the current stand-alone, mercenary arrangement with professional politicians. That's how the Gulf Arab monarchies are run to this day. That's frankly how the whole Middle East should be run; democracy is horribly destabilizing to their societies.
Eventually, for example, people will realize that Haitians are incapable of self-governance. Probably this realization will come when somebody posts photo's of the last aid worker down there being raped and cannibalized. Some organization will go in with a bunch of guns, bribe all the clans' Big Men, and kill all the troublemakers. Haitians, tired of decades of cholera and filth, will gladly sign on.
Also, I'm about to post an interesting link.

In the Hunger Games universe districts are specialized. The 12th district is coal miners, various products are created in other districts.
I liked the Hunger Games books and movies, not that they are masterpieces by any means, but they portray convincingly enough how a simple girl gets caught in a survival game and how spectators care about contestants, in their own way, while at the same time thinking it is perfectly normal that these people die in a horrible manner. Sort of like parents love the children whom in different circumstances they would have aborted (and think there is nothing wrong with that).
And I like how the mass-media is appropriately portrayed as serving the nomenklatura and being solely interested in a good Hunger Games show, with a complete disregard for human life.

Randeep Hooda, who has been sporting a fierce, strong, bearded look for a long time has been busy shooting for his upcoming film 'Battle Of Saragarhi'. Known for his amazing acting skills, there is no doubt that he will do full justice to this movie as well. Recently, he was spotted in his avatar from the movie, wearing a khaki uniform and a turban. Needless to say, the dashing actor has nailed the look.

The movie will trace the story of Havildar Ishar Singh, who led 21 Sikhs of the 36th Sikhs (now called the 4th Battalion of the Sikh Regiment) in a battle against the Afghan tribesmen in 1897. The film is being produced by Karan Johar. We are already excited to see Ranveer nail the role to perfection.

Dirty meaning factories
People live, then they die. Get over it. We all die and life is short. This is the fundamental fact of life that causes us to seek meaning… to crave it (so as not to feel pointless – hence religion… and brands).
Marketers sussed this out. Roll on the brand campaigns that attach meaning to things they want us to buy… mass marketing and broadcasting (human standardisation). So we buy stuff. It differs according to our environment (e.g. I'm a London business dude so I really can't possibly be a non-failing happy person without a flash car, expensive new boots and a crazy-priced flat). We buy loads of stuff. Our impact bias, influenced by the marketing bombardment (though not as much as they'd like to think!) causes us to overestimate how happy the stuff will make us. Conversely, the same bias causes us to overestimate how crappy we'll feel if we take a risk and it all goes wrong. Hmmm.
Imagine accepting your lifespan and making the most of it. What's the most useful thing I can do in my short window of opportunity, that'll make me the most fulfilled? What would contribute most to the overall progress of the human race? What would be of most value to others? Do I care? Do I just want to pursue pleasure and to hell with the rest of them?
Whatever we decide to do, hopefully it isn't on auto-pilot, with fear-clipped wings and hangups about stupid shit like the credit crunch, piracy, predetermined life-paths and hierarchies.

Now BloggerStop NO LONGER suggests Bukisa as an easy money-making Blogging service.
Blogging is almost always associated with earning money online. But it is not necessay to write paid posts or sponsored posts to start earning. You don't even have to sign up with any advertising agencies like Adsense, Komli, or Bidvertiser etc. to earn money while blogging. There are websites, ready to add funds to your bank account simply for writing posts, and bringing visitors to them. Here's a comparison between the leaders of "make money while blogging" service providers.
First things first…
So how much do they pay and when do they payout?
Then why don't everyone simply select Bukisa over Today?
But at Today, although the flexibility to edit your template and adding widgets is much less as compared to blogs hosted on Blogger or on WordPress, but are much more as compared to Bukisa. So at Today.com you not only get paid to receive visitors to your blog, but you have all the permissions, edit the template colors and add some simple widgets to the blog.
So what do I suggest…

Stay up in the hills in the B O - Grindelwald is my favorite and is the most active of the towns along with Lauterbrunnen - for smaller towns and more quiet Murren and Wengen, which though are more remote if using as base - not that much but another 20-30 minutes each way over say Grindelwald.
Mt Pilatus IME is oft shrouded in fog so leave that flexible - Interlaken has lots of activities like Sky Diving - don't have to stay there but places like - http://alpinraft.ch/ - has bungy jumping but not sky diving perhaps - paragliding yes but I'm not sure there is sky diving in this mountainous area.
Car driving on autoroutes is like anyplace - be sure you rental car has the required vingette - about 35 Swiss francs to go on the motorways - regular roads IME can be very tedious - sinuous terrain - lots of trucks and camper vans, etc. Not sur why you are renting a car at all - trains go everywhere.
anyway for lots of great info on Swiss trains and passes check these IMO superb sites: www.budgeteuropetravel.com )I have bought many passes from Byron there - if you want to talk to an expert he's it and IME will answer questions even if not buying; www.ricksteves.com also have knowledgeable staff; www.swisstravelsystem.com. Keep eyes peeled for specials on Swiss Passes as the spring progresses - often in the past say in May - an extra day or some nice freebie - no reason to buy really early.
Report Abuse
since a car is a no go in the Jungfrau Region why not just take the train - like the scenic Golden Pass one from Montreux to Interlaken-ost, jumping off point for Grindelwald and the hills?
And you do not need a car to go to Montreux, Vevey, etc - roads along Lake Geneva tend to be tedious IME - lots of slow-moving traffic - take a train the whole time of your trip IMO - can see no reason for a car anuywhere - may get an 8-day pass?

Day 5. Visit Mt. Rigi or Mt. Pilatus. Rent a car for next day. Stay Overnight Lucerne.
Day 6. Visit Stanserhorn by car and depart for Geneva by car to take 6 pm light back to Paris.>
why rent a car just to drive back to Geneva - trains go faster and cheaper - given car rental costs and gs prices and why not just hop the TGV train from Bern or Zurich and for as low as 49-59 euros or so be in Paris almost as quick as it would take you to drive to Geneva. www.voyages-sncf.com or www.capitainetrain.com for discounted advance tickets. Save two days of needless car rental.

Thanks for your replies which will be of great help.
Can you suggest some good decent accommodation in Grindelwald?
I am dropping the car option . Will go for 8 days swiss pass instead. Due to baggage constraints , I was planning to rent a car so that you can stop on the way wherever you want.
Also how far train station from Geneva airport? How much to walk with baggages in tow?
Hope to receive your reply on above.
Thanks once again.

Hi fxrajesh,
The SBB (Swiss train services) offer Fast Baggage service from many of their stations -- if you check your case/s by 09.00, you can pick them up at your destination station after 18.00. You just need to verify that your destination station baggage office will be open after 18.00.
Also, yes, you can stop enroute as often as you want. Your ticket will be good the whole day. If you have your bags with you, just stuff them into a locker at the train station, then continue on your way when you're ready.
Most cities or mid-size towns have about 3 or 4 train departures every hour, so it's really very convenient.
There is a train station right AT the Geneva airport, so again, it's very convenient. Just roll your bags along with you.
Have fun as you plan!

It doesn't make sense to go from Montreux to the Bernese Oberland if you want to visit Zermatt the day after.
Go directly from Montreux to Zermatt an sleep there.
It makes sense to have a car if you want to go from Interlaken to Titlis and back. Drive from Interlaken to Engstlenalp (1 hr drive), go then by chairlift to Jochpass - Truebsee and by gondola to Titlis.
It would be easier to visit Titlis from Lucerne, however.
With a car, you could also drive over some alpine passes, close to glaciers. But I don't think that you would be interested in.
Report Abuse
Interlaken to titlis and backis best by train - why car - take the scenic Brunig Pass rail line from Interlaken-Ost (part of the Golden Pass train route) to a station before Lucerne and change to the Engleberg train to Engleberg - one of themost sweet train rides in Switzerland - see no reason why one would want to go by car on this route.
Report Abuse
Mt Titlis is a much shorter and easier day trip from Lucerne than from any Jungfrau base - do it from Lucerne.
Report Abuse
2. Whether stay in Zermatt or return to BO on day 4?
If just going to Zermat as many tourists are want to do - to glimpse the majestic Matterhorn, most familiar of all mountains in world visage-wsie then be aware the the Matterhorn is often shrouded in fog or clouds much or part of the days or even days at a time. Staying there gives you more chances to see it out in all its glory.
And it is a long trip by car or train from any Jungfrau Region base to Zermatt - a long long haul.
Report Abuse
PalenQ. by train from Interlaken Zermatti s a train journey f under 2 hours each way and I might add well worth a day trip, even on the off chance of a glimpse of the Matterhorn
Report Abuse
I would suggest the OP stay in Zermatt in between Montreux and the Interlaken area - not spend 5 hours commuting back and forth (from Interlaken it may be 2 hours but who stays in Interlaken except myself?
OP is seeing basically nothing in the Jungfrau Region but day tripping out each day - seems a poor idea to me with so so much to see and do right in that area.
Report Abuse
Zermatt isn't between Montreux and Interlaken; Zermatt is south of Montreux. It's more like Montreux is between Interlaken and Zermatt.
If the OP is looking for a central point to see Montreux, Zermatt, and the Jungfrau area, it might be Brig.
Brig - Interlaken 1h08
Brig - Montreux 1h25
Brig - Zermatt 1h20
Brig is a lovely little town, not yet overrun by tourists and dozens of tourist hotels and souvenir shops. It has a lovely flower-bedecked central square, with many streets radiating off from the square, lined with shops and cafes.
Have fun as you plan!
Report Abuse
Oh, wait, I see that I've misunderstood your comment, Pal. You aren't saying that Zermatt is located between Montreux and Interlaken -- rather, you are saying that the OP ought to stay in Zermatt in between the stays in Montreux and Interlaken.
My apologies!
Report Abuse
they ought to stay in Zermatt between the stays in Montreux and Interlaken - rather than day tripping there from the B O.
Report Abuse
Not sure why you are renting a car on day 1 - trains go quickly to all those places and once in them a car is useless - they are all very walkable - to just drive between them IMO is a waste of money - take the train to say Montreux or Vevey - two favored bases for Fodorites and hop to the other two by train - just a few minutes apart or even better by lake boat!

"they ought to stay in Zermatt between the stays in Montreux and Interlaken - rather than day tripping there from the B O"
Thanks for the help Palen: that's exactly what I suggested in my post above.
"Interlaken to titlis and backis best by train - why car - take the scenic Brunig Pass rail line from Interlaken-Ost (part of the Golden Pass train route) to a station before Lucerne and change to the Engleberg train to Engleberg"

IMO the whole itinerary needs re-thinking - they are flitting about to hit highlights but not really staying in a place long enough to hit the many not so highlights that may be more enjoyable than the usually tourist thronged hot spots. This is like a butterfly trip - flitting here and there but never really staying anywhere. Lots and lots of travel - too much even for me an inveterate traveler who likes to move around a lot.

After all your inputs, my final itinerary will look like this:
Day 1. Land in Geneva from Nice around 11 am. Take a train to Zermatt. Stay Overnight there.
Day2. Zermatt/ Gornergrat/ Matterhorn Paradise. Return to Lucerne for overnight stay.
Day 3. Visit Mt. Titlis. Overnight stay in Lucerne.
Day 4. Visit Mt. Rigi or Mt. Pilatus. Leave for Grindelwald and stay overnight there.
Day 5. Do sky diving. Visit Schiltron/Murren/ Trummelbach falls and stay overnight in Grindelwald.
Day 6. Depart for Geneva by Golden Pass train to view Laussane Vevey Montreux on the way to take 6 pm flight back to Paris.
Require your help for arranging :
1. Swiss Regular Pass for 4+2 OR 8 days whichever cheaper .
2. Skydiving for one person
3. 1 Nights accommodation in Zermatt.
4. 2 Nights accommodation in Lucerne
5. 2 Nights Accomodation in Grindelwald.
6. Other assistance where possible in above itinerary. Suggestions welcome.

Hi again,
I think you've opted for a slow route to get from Grindelwald to Paris by flying out of Geneva.
If you took the train from Grindelwald to Paris, it would take about 6h15 (with changes in Interlaken and Basel).
Flying will take you longer. As you note,
Grindelwald to GVA 3h30
Wait at airport 2h
Flight 1h
Get luggage 20 min
Get from Paris airport to Paris 45 minutes
Total: 7h30
I don't think your itinerary makes good sense, as you are going from south (Zermatt) to north (Luzern) to central (Grindelwald) to south (Geneva) to north (Paris) again. Rather, it would make more sense to go:
Geneva - Zermatt - Grindelwald - Luzern - Paris
The trip from Luzern to Paris only takes 4h30 with a change in Basel, so that's much faster than flying and faster than the train from Grindelwald.
If you did the route I suggest, you could easily see the Golden Pass as you travel from Zermatt -- just to go Montreux and take the GP from there.
I do think it's counter-productive to stay in Zermatt only one night. The chances of seeing the Matterhorn or any mountains isn't great with only two half days there; you increase your changes of clear skies with every day you stay. I would enjoy the mountains in/around Grindelwald and maybe see Zermatt on your next trip.
Have fun!

skoip Zermatt IMO and spend more time in the Jungfrau Region where there is much more to do than just glimpse one mountain. If you had more time yes.

Swandav2000 , u r cent percent correct.
But unfortunately my flight already booked from Geneva to Paris. Since i am taking swiss pass anyways i will try that option anyways and take a hit on flight amount.
Zermatt is a must on my itinerary. I have kept 2 days for that.
Wish i could stay more.
Report Abuse
Also want to ask one thing whether with Swiss pass , journey from Lucerne to Paris will be free? Do I have to reserve in advance?
Report Abuse
Hi again,
No; the Swiss Pass is only good for trips within Switzerland. You'll pay the fare from the last Swiss town to Paris.
Remember that if you buy your tickets about 90 days early, you'll get substantial discounts for the train fare. Fares can be as low as 39€. So, yes, it does pay to buy/reserve in advance.
Use these sites to check fares and buy your tickets:
Hope it's all coming together!
Report Abuse
You do not have to reserve in advance for TGVs to Paris - none run directly from Lucerne so go to either nearby Bern or Zurich to connect with direct trains to Paris - you can IME always buy tickets just before the train but like swandav says you can save a lot by booking way in advance at the sites she gives. But those tickets are non-changeable non-refundable and as they are sold in limited numbers must be booked in stone weeks/months ahead of time to guarantee getting them.
Report Abuse
I fully second swan:
you can avoid a lot of backtracking by doing
Geneva - Zermatt - Grindelwald - Luzern - Basel - TGV -Paris.
Report Abuse
I still have to book hotels in Switzerland.
Planned one night in Zermatt, 2 nights lucerne and 2 nights Grindelwald.
Where to stay in Zermatt for one night with good view and near train station?
Can you suggest some good apartments in Lucerne and Grindelwald not far from train station?
Hope Grindelwald is a good choice for covering sky diving and Schiltron/Murren/ Trummelbach falls.
Or stay put 4 nights in either Lucerne or Grindelwald?
Please suggest as usual. My detailed itinerary as above mentioned. Thanks.

My dh and I tried for 2.5 years to get pregnant with our son. Every month I became more and more depressed, stressed, and anxious. I finally gave up and started working on myself by eating healthy and working out. Boom two months later I was pregnant. I know I hated when people told me this but it's true - stop trying, relax, and have fun with it. I swore up and down something was wrong with us and it was nothing. Dh and I were both tested and nothing was wrong. Try to relax and have faith. I'll be praying for you. It's a tough thing to go through. I remember being so envious of someone who got pregnant that I didn't feel deserved it (single people or ones not even trying). I had to let it go to move on and things started happening. Sending big hugs!

A Russian television channel loyal to the Kremlin on Friday broadcast a documentary savaging Moscow's controversial mayor, in a rare attack on a top serving official by mass media.
The natonal NTV channel, which is owned by state-controlled Russian gas giant Gazprom, issued a litany of allegations against Moscow mayor Yury Luzhkov who has held his post for the last 18 years.
The documentary ridiculed Luzhkov for taking days to return from holiday while Moscow choked in the toxic smog from the wildfires this summer and probed the business dealings of his wife Yelena Baturina, Russia's richest woman.
The expose, named "The Affair of the Flat Cap" in reference to the mayor's trademark hat, caricatured Luzhkov as a corrupt bumpkin with more interest in his hobby of beekeeping than running the Russian capital.
Luzhkov had always vehemently denied allegations relating to corruption or the business interests of his wife.
Such a strong attack against a serving official is unprecedented on Russian television in recent years and NTV appears to have been encouraged by mounting Kremlin frustration with Luzhkov.
Kremlin officials have critcised Luzhkov over his holiday in the wildfire crisis and accused him of trying to fabricate a rift between President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
Oddly, while terrestrial transmission of the documentary was smooth NTV's satellite channel NTV Plus was blacked out by a mysterious technical glitch that lasted for most of the transmission.
"We need to look into this situation," the channel's deputy director Alexei Kukolevsky told Moscow Echo Radio.
With equally good timing, NTV also in the last weeks broadcast a documentary highly critical of Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko just as relations between the Kremlin and Minsk cooled.

Adele Goes 'Rolling In The Deep' on 'Dancing With The Stars'
It was an Adele takeover on U.S. primetime TV last night (May 10): Immediately after "Glee's" take on "Rolling in the Deep" aired on Fox, Adele took the stage of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" to sing the newly-crowned No. 1 single. Watch her "DWTS" performance below.
Despite an impressive "Rolling in the Deep" performance, Adele did not return to the "DWTS" stage to perform her planned second number, a cover of the Aretha Franklin/Carole King hit, "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman." She explained that her voice would not be able to hit those high notes, telling host Tom Bergeron: "I was going to be covering 'Natural Woman,' but my voice is going a bit... it's knackered and I need to save it."
Adele added: "[Aussie singer] Delta Goodrem has stepped in with an hour's notice, so thanks very much. I am gutted."
Adele's "21" currently tops the Billboard 200 chart, while "Rolling in the Deep" reigns on the Hot 100 chart.
What did you think of Adele's performance on "Dancing With The Stars" last night? Could you tell her voice was, as she said, "knackered"? Tell us in the comments below!
