Appears there is a virus originally found earlier this year, that many AV companies and firewalls have had problems stopping. Zonealarm free firewall does not stop it, although the full version now does.

This looks like another new tax that has just been introduced here. On each prescription item, you have to pay 21 cents, even if the medication previously was free.

Does anybody have any recipes for cooking black truffles. We had one today, cooked in an omelette in the French style, but would like to know if anyone has used them with pork, as still have another 2 to use up before they go off.

Well, I must admit that our dentist is very good, albeit as most anywhere are expensive even in the UK. I had my first visit to ours here after being ripped off by the English ones, (for work that was not even needed) and he was excellent. Wife, also has just been back for some crowns after having implants and they were as painless as possible, considering the work that had to be carried out. Also given his mobile number in case of any problems and told to call at any time. I hate dentists, but would use ours again at any time if I had a problem.

You can buy bags of red kidney beans at the Asian shop in Corridonia, obviously they have virtually everything there to make an Indian curry as well. There is also a Lidl in Corridonia.Thai food ingredients, I order from a supplier in the north of Italy. Just had over 100Euros worth delivered including fresh lemon grass ( you have to email them for the lemon grass, as its not on the online catologue). Normally 24 hrs from placing the order, the delivery arrives.

How wrong you are Kay. In Vietnam I ate Vietnamese, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia etc, the same, always local food....... no Spanish Costa "English Breakfasts etc.  So, here I do the same at most times, eat ½ûÂþÌìÌà dishes, but also cook other countries food. It is always good to have a change and I think that was the whole point of the original posting. You do not always have to eat just local food and I cannot see why you are so anti against culinary variety.

Kay Parley.......... when many of the ½ûÂþÌìÌÃs go on holiday to foreign countries, eg Mauritius, Thailand etc, then they look for ½ûÂþÌìÌà restaurants, so what is the difference here, that we cannot go and try again the full range of cooking that we can get in the UK. I order Thai ingredients, when I want a change from the repetitive menu that seems to be in every menu. Each to their own, so if you think ½ûÂþÌìÌà is the only food worth eating, then that's your choice. Variety of cooking is the spice of life!!!!

SagraiasolarHave you heard about the new air/water heat pump for domestic hot water only, from Ariston? Launched at the Solarexpo in Verona this May. Uses only 310W in normal mode, on the 100 ltr tank model, with electric backup if needed. Cost I have been informed is under 1000 Euro + IVA. Cannot put a link to the documentation as only have the details in PDF.

Have just found this info, only in ½ûÂþÌìÌà though.

3 luglio 2009 Eliminato l’obbligo di allegare l’attestato di certificazione energetica agli atti di compravendita, è invece rimasto l’obbligo di dotare gli immobili dell’attestato,secondo l’art. 6 del D.Lgs. 192/2005, secondo le seguenti scadenze: dal 1° luglio 2009 per le singole unità immobiliari, nel caso di trasferimento a titolo oneroso. Dal 1° luglio 2009, in caso di trasferimento di proprietà, quindi, tutti gli immobili devono essere dotati di certificazione energetica. Tutt’ora mancano le Linee Guida per la certificazione, NON emanate nemmeno con il recente D.P.R. n. 59/2009 (Regolamento di attuazione dell’articolo 4 del D.Lgs.192/2005). Fino all’emanazione delle suddette Linee Guida nazionali, per le regioni che non hanno legiferato in materia, l’attestato di certificazione energetica è sostituito dall’attestato di qualificazione energetica, redatto dal direttore dei lavori e presentato al Comune di competenza contestualmente alla dichiarazione di fine lavori. Per fare chiarezza sul corretto comportamento da tenere in caso di compravendita di immobili il Consiglio Nazionale del Notariato ha emanato lo . (da Biblus-net – Acca software)

VeniceLaura.There is a post started by Ram, either on page 1 or page 2 of the piazza explaining the energy certification introduction/rules etc. Regarding the costs you were quoted for it, that seems very high. Normally it is around 3 - 3.50 Euros per sq mtr + IVA. Hope this helps.

It would be good for sure. As you say Ronald has got so much tweaking to do, so we will have to just wait and see.

Found the first URL all details are in ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ, but hope this helps.
