Surge Protection
Especially on an internet wiki sometimes the cpu and disk load gets quite high because the wiki has to process many requests. A high load makes the wiki slow or unusable for its legitimate users.
This is caused by:
- some bad guys (spammers, vandals, ...) trying to put spam or trash on your pages
some less-bad guys (people just mirroring the wiki, without thinking about the load and the lots of useless requests and high traffic they cause)
- some bots, indexing the wiki content for some search engine
What can we do?
MoinMoin tracks requests by user name (if logged in) or IP address (if not logged in).
If the request count goes beyond some configured limit in some configured time interval, it will start to warn you (you will see a surge protection warning message instead of the expected wiki output). If you see this warning, just read it and do what it tells.
You should stop doing those requests for a minute in that case (just read the stuff you already got, drink some water, ...). You will have no problems if you continue a while later (just slow down a bit, so you won't go beyond the limit again).
If you don't pause and ignore the warnings and the requests don't stop hammering the wiki server, the wiki will think you are doing something nasty and will lock you out for some configurable amount of time.
Configuration is done as usual: in your wikiconfig. These are the built-in default values:
surge_action_limits = { # allow max. <count> <action> requests per <dt> secs # action: (count, dt) 'show': (20, 60), 'raw': (20, 40), # some people use this for css 'AttachFile': (60, 60), 'diff': (30, 60), 'fullsearch': (5, 60), 'edit': (10, 120), 'rss_rc': (1, 60), 'default': (30, 60), } surge_lockout_time = 3600 # secs you get locked out when you ignore warnings
Big proxy or firewall
If you happen to be behind a big proxy or firewall (china? big company network?) you might get trouble with surge protection because all requests come from a single IP address, looking like a really nasty user or bot.
But you can easily work around that by just logging in, so it really counts your requests (it uses your name in that case to count requests, not your proxy/firewall IP).
You will also have no problem, if your proxy uses the 'x-forwarded-for' header with your real IP.
Disabling surge protection
It is not advised to do that. If it triggers too fast, adjust the limits to your needs. Even in an intranet wiki, it is no good if a single user can make the wiki unusable for everybody by firing up some leech tool at it.
If you want to do it nevertheless:
surge_action_limits = None # disable surge protection

Listen up, students of Virginia, this question could be on your next geography quiz: What is the name of the major body of water located between Japan and the Korean peninsula?
If you said Sea of Japan, you're only half right. It's also called the East Sea.
That's according to a new bill passed by lawmakers that hands South Korea a minor victory in a long-running battle over the naming of the stretch of water. After intense lobbying from both sides, the state's House of Delegates approved the measure by an 81-15 vote to include "East Sea" along with "Sea of Japan" in the state's textbooks.
The two-line bill states simply that, "all textbooks approved by the Board of Education ... when referring to the Sea of Japan, shall note that it is also called the East Sea."
As The Washington Post reports:
"The issue has drawn intense interest from, among others, Japanese diplomats, Korean Americans in Northern Virginia, and [newly elected Gov. Terry] McAuliffe, who promised to support the measure during his campaign but has been squeezed between that pledge and warnings that Japanese businesses in Virginia could react poorly to the move."
Ahead of the vote, the Japanese government hired a lobbying firm to help make its case and Japan's ambassador to the U.S., Kenichiro Sasae, also wrote a letter to McAuliffe. Sasae warned that a move to recognize Seoul's claim could damage economic ties between Virginia and Japan, says the BBC, which adds:
"But many Korean-Americans - there are more than 80,000 in Virginia - lobbied for their name to be included in history textbooks. In the weeks before the vote they travelled to the state capital, Richmond, to push their claim at a series of rallies."
The bill has already been passed by the state Senate and goes next to the desk of the governor, who says he will sign.
As we have reported in the past, the whole Asia-Pacific basin amounts to a set of overlapping claims and counter-claims among various regional powers about territories and map labels.

This image provided by Bezos Expeditions shows a thrust chamber of an Apollo F-1 engine on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in March 2013.
(AP Photo/Bezos Expeditions)
LOS ANGELES -- Rusted pieces of two Apollo-era rocket engines that helped boost astronauts to the moon have been fished out of the murky depths of the Atlantic, Amazon.com CEO Jeff Bezos and NASA said Wednesday.
A privately funded expedition led by Bezos raised the main engine parts during three weeks at sea and was headed back to Cape Canaveral, Fla., the launch pad for the manned lunar missions.
"We've seen an underwater wonderland - an incredible sculpture garden of twisted F-1 engines that tells the story of a fiery and violent end," Bezos wrote in an online posting.
Last year, the Bezos team used sonar to spot the sunken engines resting nearly 3 miles deep in the Atlantic and 360 miles from Cape Canaveral. At the time, the Internet mogul said the artifacts were part of the Apollo 11 mission that gave the world "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
Bezos now says it's unclear which Apollo mission the recovered engines belonged to because the serial numbers were missing or hard to read on the corroded pieces. NASA is helping trace the hardware's origin.
Apollo astronauts were launched aboard the mighty Saturn V rocket during the 1960s and 1970s. Each rocket had a cluster of five engines, which produced about 7 1/2 million pounds of thrust. After liftoff, the engines - each weighing 18,000 pounds - fell to the ocean as designed, with no plans to retrieve them.
Bezos and his team sent underwater robots to hoist the engines, which are NASA property. In a statement, NASA Administrator Charles Bolden called the recovery "a historic find."
Bezos plans to restore the engine parts, which included a nozzle, turbine, thrust chamber and heat exchanger. Amazon.com Inc. spokesman Drew Herdener declined Wednesday to reveal the cost of the recovery or restoration.
NASA has previously said an engine would head for the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum. If a second was recovered, it would be displayed at the Museum of Flight in Seattle, where Amazon.com is based.
The ocean floor off Cape Canaveral is strewn with jettisoned rockets and flight parts from missions since the beginning of the Space Age. What survived after plunging into the ocean is unknown.
In one of the more famous recoveries, a private company in 1999 hoisted Gus Grissom's Mercury capsule that accidentally sank in the Atlantic after splashdown in 1961. The capsule is now featured at the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center.
Besides running the online retailer, Bezos founded Blue Origins, one of the companies with a NASA contract to develop a spaceship to carry astronauts to the International Space Station.
In a previous posting, Bezos said he was inspired by NASA as a child, and by recovering the engines "maybe we can inspire a few more youth to invent and explore."

For children between the ages of 3 and 14, unintentional injury-related deaths occur most often when riding in a car. Children are more likely to be injured, suffer more severe injuries, or die in motor vehicle crashes when they are not properly restrained. According to the National SAFE KIDS Campaign, children under age 4 who ride in motor vehicles unrestrained are twice as likely to die or suffer injuries in a car crash.
With proper precautionary measures, such as the proper use of age-appropriate child safety seats, most unintentional injuries and unintentional injury-related deaths can be prevented. Children can get hurt when parents or caregivers do not properly restrain them when riding in a vehicle, or are unaware of the dangers associated with certain motor vehicle situations. High-risk situations may include, but are not limited to, the following:
Lack of the use of child safety restraints or improper use of safety restraints in motor vehicles
Improperly used or installed child safety seats
Placing children in front of passenger seat air bags (either in an infant safety seat or sitting facing forward)
Allowing children to ride in the cargo areas of pickup trucks
Trunk entrapments
Leaving children unattended in cars
Physically, children are smaller than average adults. Their smaller size means that the standard safety belts in motor vehicles do not properly fit to protect children's bodies.
One age group, from 4 to 8 years of age, is especially at risk for improperly using safety belts in motor vehicles. According to Safe Kids USA, children do not fit in adult shoulder and lap belts (without a booster seat) until they are 57 inches tall, between the ages of 8 and 12, and weigh 80 to 100 pounds.
However, children between the ages of 4 to 8 years who have outgrown their child safety seat often are placed too soon in adult shoulder and lap belts without a booster seat. A booster seat is necessary if the shoulder strap of the seat belt crosses your child's neck rather than her chest and the lap belt crosses her stomach rather than her hips or upper thighs.
Many people think they have installed their child safety seat correctly and believe they are using it properly. However, National SAFE KIDS Campaign Car Seat Check Ups prove differently. As many as 85 percent of child safety seats are found to be improperly installed and/or used when vehicles are stopped and checked. A child can suffer injuries or death in a motor vehicle crash if the child safety seat is not properly installed or used.
Some of the most common mistakes in installing or using child safety seats include the following:
Safety belt not holding the seat in tightly and/or not in locked mode
Harness straps not snug and/or routed correctly
Harness retainer clip not at armpit level
Locking clip not used correctly
Car seat recalled and not repaired (includes booster seats)
Infants placed rear-facing in front of an active air bag
Children turned forward-facing before reaching 2 years of age and 20 pounds
Parents and caregivers should carefully read their vehicle owner's manual and the instructions that come with the child safety seat to ensure proper installation and use of the seat. Some child safety seats are not compatible with certain vehicles. Try the child's safety seat in your vehicle before you purchase it. Also, place your child in the child safety seat before purchase to ensure proper fit.
Air bags, when properly used with the vehicles' lap and shoulder belts system, can save adult lives. However, air bags can increase the danger to a child's safety.
When infants in rear-facing child safety seats and children who are unrestrained are placed in the front seat with an air bag, they may be too close to an inflating air bag in the event of a crash. An air bag will inflate at speeds up to 200 mph, which can hurt passengers who are too close to the air bag. In addition, because of the child's size, the air bag can strike him or her on the head or neck, resulting in serious or fatal injuries.
To ensure your child is as safe as possible in a vehicle, never place him or her in front of an air bag. The safest place for small children riding in vehicles is the rear seat, away from the impact of head-on crashes. If your child must ride in the front seat, move the seat as far back as possible, away from the air bag. If the car has no back seat, infants will only be safe in their rear-facing child safety seats if the vehicle has no air bag, or if the air bag has been switched off (an option in some vehicles).
Pickup trucks, although popular vehicles, may not be as safe as other vehicles for small children. Limited cab space often leads to parents letting their children ride in the cargo area. However, riding in cargo areas increases the risk of dying 10 times when involved in a collision, compared to other types of collisions, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Ejection (being thrown out) from the cargo area is the main cause of injury and death for cargo passengers. More than half of the deaths that occur among people riding in pickup truck cargo beds are children and teenagers. Covered cargo areas, too, can pose a danger to children because of carbon monoxide poisoning from exhaust fumes.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is campaigning for stricter passenger safety laws nationwide for passengers riding in pickup trucks. Currently, eight states prohibit people of all ages from riding in cargo areas with some exceptions, and 31 other states have placed certain restrictions on riding in pickup truck open beds. To protect your children, the NHTSA recommends that children never be allowed to ride or play in cargo areas of any vehicles.
A child's nature is to explore his or her surroundings. Unfortunately, this exploration can place a child in danger. Unintentional trunk entrapment, when children lock themselves in a trunk, can be fatal--between 35 and 40 percent of children ages 14 and under who accidentally lock themselves in a trunk will die due to hyperthermia (heat stroke) and/or asphyxiation (suffocation).
To prevent unintentional trunk entrapment, teach your children not to play in and around vehicles. Always lock the vehicle and keep the keys away from children. Carefully watch your young children when they are around vehicles. Keep rear fold-down seats closed inside the vehicle.
As tempting as it may be to run a quick errand, leaving children unattended inside a vehicle, "even for a minute," can be dangerous. When left unattended, children may be able to start the vehicle or put the vehicle in neutral. In addition, heat buildup or dangerously cold temperatures inside a vehicle can quickly become fatal to children.

Katsu kar? (カツカレー) is tonkatsu , a Japanese breaded and fried pork cutlet with curry sauce. Katsu kari is a popular meal in japan. It is typically served on Japanese short grained rice. I have ordered it at several Japanese restaurants both here and in Japan when I was there on vacation. Sometimes it comes with just the curry sauce and sometimes it comes with the full curry including the meat, carrots and potatoes. I prefer to have just the curry sauce so that I can enjoy the pork cutlet more.
Whenever I make Japanese curry I like to make it with some extra sauce. I skim off the extra sauce and freeze it to use later for katsu kare and other dishes. This meal combines the best of both worlds. Since the tonkatsu was just cooked it is still nice and crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside and it is covered in an amazing spicy slightly sweet curry sauce.
Katsu Kar? (Pork Cutlet with Curry Sauce)
- 1 serving Japanese short grained rice (cooked)
- 1 tonkatsu (sliced)
- 1 1/2 cup Japanese curry sauce (heated)
- Assemble.

White Noise Sound
White Noise Sound
Alive Natural Sound Records
The self-titled debut by White Noise Sound offers a definable soundscape, so although, upon the first listen, you could be forgiven for thinking you've heard it all before, it's not until the second time around, that White Noise Sound, (a six-piece from Swansea) really starts to be heard.
Clearly My Bloody Valentine and Spaceman 3 are influences. White Noise Sound have stepped it up a notch or two, so that's refreshing. There are a lot of bands that try to replicate this sound, and often it's poorly executed. The beauty of this album is that it's stylised with up-tempo tracks. There's constant energy even when the music drifts into more cosmic places, it's panoramic and breathtaking.
In the album's nine tracks, there are a variety of instruments that appear beyond the usual repertoire: cello, piccolo, tenor and alto saxophones and even a sitar. What White Noise Sound offer is a welcomed alternative to mainstream pop, bringing the sounds of the late 1980s up to date. It's an album that's more than recommended.

(BPT) – A flu outbreak in your workforce can cause problems in several different areas of your business. The best flu prevention is encouraging and educating workers on how to be proactive at fending off the flu virus. By making sure your employees do the best they can to stay in good health and flu free, you can keep your business running smoothly and efficiently.
Here are some tips on keeping the office healthy and productive from Staples, which has every product a business needs to succeed.
Ways to avoid germs
One of the best methods of flu prevention is to keep the passing of germs to a minimum. A recent survey from Staples found that 80 percent of workers come to work while sick and of those who do stay home, nearly two thirds come back while still contagious. While it is impossible to keep an entirely sterile environment, there are several ways to avoid catching the flu virus:
• Stay away from people who are, or appear to be, sick. Encourage your employees to be alert for those that look like they may be infected with the flu, both at work and in their personal lives.
• Steer clear of crowds and high-traffic areas. The more people there are, the higher the chances are that someone is carrying flu germs. Workers can decrease their odds of catching the flu by timing their errands and shopping at off-peak times whenever possible and doing their best to stay out of particularly germy areas, such as hospitals and schools.
It is also important for those who do end up getting the flu to make sure they stay home to keep from infecting others. You can help your employees do this by encouraging them to stay alert for any signs of the flu and err on the side of caution to keep from potentially spreading germs to the rest of the workforce. Some experts recommend employees with the flu stay home for between five to seven days. Encouraging telecommuting when feasible may reduce employee downtime and prevent further spread of the illness.
How proper hygiene can help keep you healthy
While staying away from crowds and sick people is an important aspect of flu prevention, it is impossible for your employees to be out of contact with everyone. Encouraging proper hygiene, both at work and at home, can help kill any flu germs floating around. There are three easy practices that can go a long way in flu prevention:
• Encourage employees to cover their mouths and noses when coughing or sneezing. This can help stop germs, flu or otherwise, from spreading. You can make this practice even easier for your workers by keeping several boxes of-facial tissues within easy reach of employee areas.
• Make hand-washing a top priority. Washing your hands is one of the single best methods of flu prevention, killing most flu virus germs that you come into contact with. Making this a company-wide practice will help keep your workforce healthy. Posting signs reminding employees to wash their hands before leaving the restroom and providing-hand sanitizer-are great ways to stay proactive.
Other ways to keep the flu at bay
In addition to avoiding and stopping the spread of germs, it is also important for employees to keep themselves as healthy as possible, making it easier for their bodies to fend off the flu virus. Encourage your staff to stay active and get plenty of rest during flu season. Providing healthy snack options and bottled water can also help make sure that your workers are refueling during the work day.
By encouraging your employees to adopt these healthy habits, you can avoid the troubles, such as unexpected understaffing, that can come from a flu outbreak among your workers. Flu prevention is key to keeping everyone healthy and productive year-round.

News and Top Stories
Apple Releases the iPad mini, 13" Retina MacBook Pro, New iMacs, and More
Apple released a bunch of new hardware at their event yesterday, most notable the iPad mini—a 7.9" version of the iPad. The key differences other than size are its weight and lack of a retina display. That said, early hands-on impressions say the screen still looks very sharp even if you can see pixels. Along with the iPad mini, Apple added a 13" MacBook Pro with retina display, a brand new design to its iMac line (now without an optical drive but with a SSD+HDD Fusion Drive), and upgraded Mac minis.
Windows 8 Is Coming!
Tomorrow, Microsoft releases Windows 8. Are you planning to upgrade? If you are, be sure to learn how to prepare your machine beforehand. There isn't too much to say about Windows 8 just yet, but you can find out ongoing coverage here.
What Exactly Is Freedom of Speech and How Does It Apply to the Internet?
There are a lot of people talking about freedom of speech on the internet these days. Some sites say they stand for free speech, but does the first amendment apply to them? Where exactly are you free to speak your mind? Alan has the answer.
This question leads to a discussion on anonymity, too, and last week Thorin discussed if it's possible to be truly anonymous online.
What's Expected of You on the First Day of a New Job
Not much is expected of you on the first day of a new job, actually. Show up on time, stay open-minded, ask questions, and learn from your mistakes. At least, that seems to be the consensus among real bosses and managers.
Questions and Answers
Each week we answer five questions from readers and listeners. Here's what we tackled this week.
Should I dumb down my resume if I'm overqualified? Is it unethical to do that?
Yes, you probably should dumb it down. We've actually recommended this in the past. Overqualified is usually just a nice word for something worse, so if you're getting that sort of reaction you should consider applying with fewer impressive credentials.
No, it's not unethical. If you lied, maybe, but think about how you'd construct a resume in the first place. You can't put everything on it and you make deliberate choices about what you do put on it so that you'll look the best for that job. Leaving things out to make you look, quite possibly, worse isn't that much different. You shouldn't feel you're doing anything wrong by sharing the most applicable information for the position to which you're applying. If you're a good worker, it won't matter that you didn't mention your graduate degree (or whatever it is that's holding you back from getting work).
How do I print from Firefox on my Android tablet for free?
Google Cloud Print offers a great way to print from just about any device, but you need to use Chrome for it to work—in most cases. Firefox actually has an add-on called Cloud Printer that allows you to do the same thing from Firefox. Basically, it's a fix for this exact problem. That said, the download page has a few complaints noting that it doesn't work with the latest version of Firefox. As we haven't tested it, we're not sure if these are true or not, if the problem was fixed, or what version of Firefox ended up being the problem.
If it doesn't work, however, you can just use Dropbox to get the job done. Here are instructions for Windows and OS X.
Is there journaling software that works cross-platform and can sync entries with Dropbox?
If you want to sync typed text with Dropbox, you can use pretty much anything. Even Microsoft Word would work, since you're essentially just storing files in a folder. But if you want an app that keeps track of everything and doesn't store data on its server, out of your direct reach (e.g. Evernote), there are a few options—if you're only using plain text. Here they are:
Notational Velocity (OS X)
Resoph Notes (Windows)
nvPY (Windows/OS X/Linux)
KeepNote (Windows)
PlainText (iOS)
FlickNote (Android - Doesn't currently sync with Dropbox but that's in development)
Of course, that's just plain text. We don't know of a rich text option off-hand. If anyone else does, please post in the discussions at the end of this post, write us, or call (347) 687-8109 and leave us a message. We'll talk about any new suggestions in the next episode.
How can I add a PVR that can record multiple TV shows to my HTPC? Is it better to have a NAS separate from my HTPC or should I combine them both?
This question is actually far more complicated than stated above. There were a lot of other, related questions that went with it, too. For the full answer, be sure to listen to the podcast. It's just too much information to summarize here. That said, to solve the PVR problem, a cool tool called SimpleTV can do the trick.

Alan's Pick: Take Your To-Do List Back to Basics
The to-do list is the crux of your daily productivity, but between all the task management apps out there, different productivity methods, and other miscellaneous life hacks, your to-do list has probably gotten cluttered and complicated. Here's how to take it back to basics and craft a to-do list that actually helps you get things done.

Whitson's Pick: Learn Hidden Crapware Tricks
Have you ever installed a program only to find that it came with some ridiculous, hidden crapware like the Ask.com toolbar? Don't feel bad, the installer probably tricked you into installing it. Weblog FreewareGenius details the most common tricks companies use, and how to avoid each one.

Dachis' Pick: Make Last-Minute Changes to Your Homework (or Other Submissions) with Dropbox
It's obviously best to complete homework, contest submissions, and general work on time, but life doesn't always allow for that. Redditor lowbrassman2000 realized that when you need to make alterations after the fact, you just need to send a Dropbox link.
Downloads of the Week
Each week we talk about our favorite downloads. Here are our picks for this week.
Alan's Pick: Keymonk (Android)
Keymonk is a new Android keyboard replacement that takes the idea of swiping your fingers across letters to input text up a notch. Turn your phone sideways and use both thumbs to input text, or put it in portrait mode and use one-either way it's fast, accurate, and best of all, free.
Whitson's Pick: Unpolitic.me (Chrome)
The election is only two weeks away, which means the political arguments are getting pretty heated-particularly on Facebook, where intelligent discussion is something one can only dream of. Unpolitic.me takes those annoying political posts and replaces them with Instagram pictures.
Dachis' Pick: Sworkit (iOS/Android/Web)
The randomized circuit training app Sworkit gets a big update today, adding a means to track your daily totals, calories burned, and a much needed visual overhaul of the app.
How Do I Submit a Question?
There are three ways to send in your question:
Call (347) 687-8109 and record a question. Calls are awesome! We like them!
Email your question to [email protected].
Please keep your questions as brief as possible. This means about 3-5 sentences for emails and 30-60 seconds for calls and videos. Your questions can be specific, but broader questions are generally better because they'll apply to more people. For example, "how can I breathe new life into my old PDA?" is much better than "what can I do with an old HP iPAQ 210?" Either way, we look forward to hearing from you!

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
Haven't had a chance to look into this further yet, still fiddling with the remote mapping for the receiver, but I wanted to ask if anyone has one (USBUIRT) working as a transmitter in 10.04? If so, when you transmit a code (say in "Test" mode when you are entering codes and you press the test button), can you see a flash from the unit? I've tried using my mobile phone camera to watch the unit and I don't see anything so I'm presuming it isn't happening.
I see there was a bug in 07.10 and there are a few references in the wiki to transmission problems and I haven't tried any of those fixes, assuming they are no longer an issue in 10.04?Anyone care to comment?
I know the embedded transmitter (usb uirt embedded transmitter) is a child device, sort of a dummy device as referred to by Tshak, but should it still have a log file? Only the parent has a log file in my case (the parent being the receiver, which is working).I do get the "some devices failed to start" message when I start up my MD. How do I track down which devices? Is it possible that the embedded transmitter is the one failing? Is it supposed to start (being a dummy/child device and all)?
Most people put a little extension IR diode onto the USB UIRT.

Burnt Caramel Sea Salt Dark Chocolate Coins (with my mind on my money, and my money on my mind)
This chocolate video features one of my rare forays into the world of candy. These chocolate coins are inspired by my love for the chocolate-salt-caramel flavor combination, and my fascination with edible money.
To this day, if I'm in a store and I see those little mesh bags of chocolate coins, I immediately turn into a 5-year-old. Those foil wrapped chocolates were, for whatever reason, my absolute favorite. Come on, money and chocolate in one shiny package…beautiful.
It also provided a valuable life lesson. I always thought the saying should have been, "you can't have your chocolate coins and eat them too." I mean who wants to keep cake around? It gets stale. Of course you eat cake as soon as you can - that's a no-brainer. Chocolate coins presented the real have-or-eat dilemma.
Before you watch, let me say that I'm not a candy maker or chocolatiere. I didn't really use a recipe, so if you are experienced in chocolate manipulation you very well may see errors in both technique and execution.
I also didn't bother to wrap them in gold and silver foil. I was very tempted, but time management and sanity prevailed, and I just piled them up.
The chocolate I used was made by a company called Amano, which is quickly gaining a reputation as one of the top artisan chocolate makers anywhere. They are one of the few American companies that create their chocolate directly from the cacao beans. It's amazing stuff and I've included a link here so you can learn more, and hopefully taste it for yourself. Enjoy!
6 oz dark chocolate, broken in small pieces
1 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream
sea salt
cocoa for dusting

Looks deceptively easy! About how many "coins" did this recipe yield?
- March 18, 2009 at 4:00 PM
That looks gooood. First comment, BOOYAA!

Those look delicious!
I love dark chocolate so much, so if those bars are as good as you say they are, I will have to get some!
So far, my favorite dark chocolate has been the Dagoba brand "Eclipse," which is a whopping 87% cocoa! - March 18, 2009 at 4:25 PM

it made about 24, give or take a few "tests"

Hahaha... the end music, and the rabbit bird. This looks so freakishly good. I'm not all about dark chocolate, but mixed with caramel and sea salt... I warm to the idea considerably. Looks delicious and easy!
- March 18, 2009 at 5:24 PM
I always lose first comment. Chef John, you always make cooking seem so easy. I wish I was as skillful as you - March 18, 2009 at 7:23 PM

Looks good!
Here's a request: Peanut Butter Cups
I've had some amazing handmade ones made with real peanut butter (not Skippy) and dark chocolate.
thanks - March 18, 2009 at 8:11 PM
That looks soo good! Like always, i do enjoy your food-blog. You have in a way renewed my faith in cooking. Thank you for that! :)
Mikael from Sweden. - March 18, 2009 at 8:30 PM
You make this look so easy to make. Now how many calories are in each candy coin? Don't even answer that because it looks too good to pass up because of a few calories. Grandkids are coming and it is something we can make together. Got those kids making stuffed artichokes and breading chicken cutlets. Now we can make chocolate treats. Never know what they are capable of unless you let them try.
- March 18, 2009 at 9:13 PM
- Chef John said...
I couldn't agree more. So many grandparents shy away from letting the kids work with 300 degree sugar, but not you! ;-)
- March 18, 2009 at 9:28 PM
- An Ng. said...
I'm so nervous about spooning every single coin on the mat. Will it harden before I can finish? Can I rewarm the chocolate then? Or maybe I could just make them into truffles?
- March 19, 2009 at 12:16 AM
I just got rejected from a bajillion [the number is so absurd it isn't even a real number] that I need some serious good food to not feel oh so devastated. :D I would love to know some really awesome recipes.
- March 19, 2009 at 1:19 AM
- Chef John said...
sorry, those bajillion breakups can be rough.
- March 19, 2009 at 1:56 AM
- Chef John said...
sky, you'll have time, and if you don't, so what? It's all good in the chocolate ganache hood.
- March 19, 2009 at 2:00 AM
- Pyrofish said...
I think if it started to harden before I was finished, I would sprinkler the salt over what was left in the bowl, chill it, and call that one mine :-)

- March 19, 2009 at 3:07 PM
Chef John, Granny says no pain no gain.
- March 19, 2009 at 3:30 PM
Just in time! You do know those foil wrapped chocolate coins were recently recalled due to some contaminant, seriously!

Hi again:
I just made these with my boyfriend, they turned out AMAZING, and not difficult at all. We wanted to send you a picture, but apparently they were so good that my boyfriend can't help trying 'a few' while waiting for me to get the camera, and none survived for the shoot. Maybe next time...
Thanks for the great recipe. We will make these again soon. - March 19, 2009 at 8:50 PM

Great as always.

I made these today and after an hour on the highest heat, the sugar still wouldn't melt in the double boiler. I had to do it in the pan. I was so frustrated that I forgot to add the heavy cream. They taste good though and I like the texture.
- March 20, 2009 at 6:01 PM
- Chef John said...
If you watch the video again you'll see the sugar is not placed over water, it's in the dry pan over the flame. The chocolate is over the water. Check it out again.
- March 20, 2009 at 7:44 PM
- Leti said...
I made these yesterday! I had trouble getting the sugar to melt. It took almost 25 minutes and I still didn't have big bubbles. Sugar was placed in a dry pan over medium low heat (eventually moved up to medium).
Question: Not a gas stove, and the pan was non-stick. Sugar was brown (not burnt) before I added cream. Was it the non-stick pan?
I added in the cream when I finally had a LOT of little bubbles, but found that the sugar just wasn't hot enough to melt. Had to turn the heat back on (almost high) and stir constantly. This resulted in a lovely caramel sauce with tiny toffee fragments!
I added hazelnut chunks and some caramel "beads" to mine as well, and they are GLORIOUS. Thank you Chef John! - March 21, 2009 at 10:33 AM
- Chef John said...
no, it was just the heat. My was med gas, so you may need med-high next time. And if you want it darker just cook longer. You shouldn't need to stir, as everything will stick to the spoon, until you add the cream.
- March 21, 2009 at 12:48 PM
- Unknown said...
I made them...and all my friends LOVED them :-) so simple, so easy and very delicious....Thanx a Lot!!
- March 22, 2009 at 7:14 AM
Can I use light cream instead of heavy cream?
- March 22, 2009 at 11:32 AM
- Chef John said...
i've never tried it. good luck
- March 23, 2009 at 9:57 AM
I used this recipie for easter and made big and small chocolate eggs and chocolate rabbits (I shaped them by putting the chocolate in a refrigerator bag, cutting a small hole in it, and then "painting" the rabbit on baking paper, then putting foil on it and making it flat with a big spatula). Then I used choco powder for 1 third, vanilla sugar for the 2nd and left the 3rd natural.
It was a huge success! - April 16, 2009 at 4:30 AM
- Chef John said...
great idea!
- April 16, 2009 at 11:19 AM
- Unknown said...
can you use milk chocolate instead, because i hate dark chocolate
- May 16, 2009 at 8:04 PM
- Chef John said...
no you can't!
- May 16, 2009 at 9:10 PM
- Minh "Sa" Chau said...
haha, "It's not about being perfect its about .. eating chocolate" hahah.
hey chef john, can you use wax paper instead of silicone ? - July 23, 2009 at 5:07 PM
- Chef John said...
yes, or plastic
- July 23, 2009 at 5:11 PM
- Lau said...
That looks so delicious. Thanks for sharing!
- October 31, 2009 at 4:47 PM
I am SO making these!
Not only am I already DROOLING, but now I'm craving chocolate even more! Thanks a lot, Mr. Chef, seriously, THANK YOU! - June 21, 2010 at 7:47 PM
- Victoria said...
They are delicious, but I'd like them to have a little more caramel... has anyone tried doubling the sugar and cream to get more caramel?
- December 19, 2010 at 1:47 PM
- Tarnation said...
These were amazing and so easy!
- December 20, 2010 at 9:44 PM
I made some with milk because i had no Heavy cream
Also used kosher salt instead of sea salt
will comment how they taste later - December 23, 2010 at 7:33 PM
They taste good even without having all of the ingredients
- December 23, 2010 at 8:34 PM
Also thank you for sharing your recipe
Kinda forgot to thank you because it taste so good couldn't stop eating and thinking about the chocolate
all the chocolate is gone now need to make more - December 23, 2010 at 8:42 PM
These look wonderful. I love the flavour combination of caramel, salt, and chocolate.
I am very interested in stamping a picture of my face into these as suggested. How would I go about making the stamp? Could I use a potato? If I send you a photo could you draw a picture for me?
Just kidding? - February 10, 2011 at 12:31 PM
I made these as described but didn't taste any caramel. Everyone said they just tasted like sea salty chocolate (luckily still yummy). Also the next day they tasted kinda grainy. What did I do wrong?
- February 11, 2011 at 5:10 PM
Hey Chef John! Ann here...
would it be OK to use this as a base for making truffles? - February 13, 2011 at 4:39 PM
- Chef John said...
Sure! All these are are flat truffles.
- February 13, 2011 at 4:52 PM
Do you think I can allow my 13 year-old nephew to make these on his own? He does know some basic recipes and can make your mocha pot de creme without a sweat. It's just awesome! Tastes great, and I had to let my nephew come over a few times just because I was craving it!
- March 3, 2011 at 1:45 AM
- Chef John said...
not sure, but caramelized sugar is VERY hot and can be dangerous.
- March 3, 2011 at 2:11 AM
Hey Chef, going to make this tomorrow. When you say i need to shape it into coins kind of quickly does that mean they could harden if you don't shape it quickly? Going to make this for my closest friends and my crush. Thanks.
- August 19, 2011 at 5:59 AM
- Chef John said...
Yes, enjoy!
- August 19, 2011 at 10:28 AM
Chef John, my chocolate coins are to liquidy to shape? Can the temperature in my house affect the ganache? I live in a tropical place and today is hotter than usual. Should i use air conditioned place then to shape them?
- October 15, 2011 at 4:11 AM
- Chef John said...
No shouldn't be a problem. I really can't tell you. Put and spoon in the fridge and see if it firms up.
- October 15, 2011 at 10:16 AM
I'm 13 and have no experience in cooking whatsoever. Holidays are coming and I want to try cooking some easy food and desserts with my friends (also no experience), could I try this or do you think I will mess it up..? ^^" If you think I will then any recipes to recommend?
- October 23, 2011 at 12:11 PM
- Chef John said...
i wouldn't start with that. Maybe the red velvet cupcakes? http://foodwishes.blogspot.com/2011/10/red-velvet-cupcakes-and-my-big-moment.html
- October 23, 2011 at 12:53 PM
Okay, thank you!

Hi! I just tried making these but I think our gas stove gets too hot. The sugar didn't take 7-8 minutes, maybe 1-2 and the edges were brown before the middle. On our lowest setting!
Mixed it anyway, we'll see what happens when I pull them out of the fridge. - November 18, 2011 at 12:57 PM
just made these n can't taste any caramel flavor in them. what did i do wromg//
- November 21, 2011 at 9:13 PM
- Todd Quackenbush said...
I just made these with the Ocumare. These are pretty easy to do and are chewy yet still solid. I also like them without the coco coating slightly better.
Thanks Chef John! - January 17, 2012 at 9:02 PM
Chef John, can I use Pure Cream (45% milk fat) for this? Or heavy whipping cream?
- January 27, 2012 at 9:13 AM
- Chef John said...
Sorry, not sure. I used 38%
- January 27, 2012 at 11:17 AM
- Garpu said...
I made these tonight, and they're tasty, but when I was making the caramel, the sugar solidified into a large glop of hard when I added the cream. Is this supposed to happen? It eventually melted and reduced, while sticking horribly to the spoon.
- February 9, 2012 at 10:34 PM
Chef John, all your recipe is so 'mouthwatering!!!'
Thank you for sharing all this recipes... - February 28, 2012 at 11:00 PM
- Woelkchen said...
I made them today, but I think it could be more toffee in my mixture. I am from Europe so I translated into gramm and ml: 13 gramm sugar and 60 ml cream for 170 gramm chocolate - especially the sugar seems to be undercharged. I definitely have to buy some cup-measure-cups and will take more sugar next time.
But the Ganache came out really clean and beautiful as it should. - March 7, 2012 at 5:14 AM

How long do you think these would keep? I want to make a few batches and give them away for the holidays. Should I keep them in the fridge/freezer, or is room temp OK?
Thanks, they look awesome :). - December 8, 2012 at 7:06 PM
- Chef John said...
I like to keep refrigerated. Don't know exact time since never kept very long, but for a week at least.
- December 8, 2012 at 11:50 PM
- Rixa said...
I wanted more caramel flavor, so I used about 3 Tbsp sugar instead of 1 Tbsp. I kept the other ingredients the same. I also pushed the caramelizing as long as I could, right up until the edges started almost burning. Yum!
I made a double batch and had no problems getting everything spooned onto pans before it cooled off. I keep mine in the fridge (also keeps them out of sight from my kids!) - December 16, 2012 at 2:46 PM

Will this recipe work with milk chocolate, or will that be too sweet?

U.S. Judge Dismisses ATM Fee Collusion Lawsuits
A federal judge has dismissed antitrust lawsuits accusing Visa Inc, MasterCard Inc, JPMorgan Chase & Co, Bank of America Corp and Wells Fargo & Co of conspiring to fix automated teller machine fees.
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in Washington, D.C., said that, while the three lawsuits "bristle with indignation," the plaintiffs failed to show they were injured, or that there was a conspiracy to charge excessive or artificially high fees.
"Notwithstanding plaintiffs' adamant insistence that consumers are being overcharged, the court simply could not find facts to support that contention," Jackson wrote.
The plaintiffs included several individual consumers, 13 owners and operators of independent non-bank ATMs that compete with bank ATMs, as well as the National ATM Council, a trade group for those owners and operators.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Bank of America spokeswoman Shirley Norton and MasterCard spokesman James Issokson said their companies are pleased with the decision. Visa spokesman Will Valentine, JPMorgan spokesman Thomas Kelly and Wells Fargo spokesman Ancel Martinez declined to comment.
Visa and MasterCard are the world's largest payment networks. JPMorgan, Bank of America and Wells Fargo are the largest, second-largest and fourth-largest U.S. banks by assets.
In September, financial research firm Bankrate.com said the cost of using out-of-network ATMs rose 4 percent in the prior year to a record $2.50. It also said people who use such ATMs paid their own banks an average $1.57 fee, up 11 percent.
The lawsuits filed in October 2011 accused Visa and MasterCard of setting rules that barred ATM operators from offering lower prices on independent PIN debit card networks that were not affiliated with either company.
These networks comprise 200,000 ATMs nationwide, many of which are found in such places as convenience stores and gas stations, court papers show.
The plaintiffs said the alleged illegal agreements required operators of ATMs that accepted Visa- or MasterCard-branded cards to charge consumers no more for using those cards than they charged consumers who transact on other ATM networks.
Visa and MasterCard said this helped consumers by setting a ceiling on ATM access fees. The plaintiffs countered it established a floor beneath which fees for transactions processed on other networks could not be discounted.
In finding no conspiracy among Visa, MasterCard and the banks to restrain trade, Jackson said that "at most, plaintiffs allege that ATM operators - both banks and independent operators - make independent business decisions whether to participate in the Visa and MasterCard networks."
The cases, all in the U.S. District Court, District of Columbia, are National ATM Council Inc et al v. Visa Inc et al, No. 11-01803; Mackmin et al v. Visa Inc et al, No. 11-01831; and Stoumbos v. Visa Inc et al, No. 11-01882.

Well, to start, my name is Matt. I got into loose leaf tea my sophomore year in college. I was drinking some lipton tea in my room when I started thinking to myself that there has to be something more then just bagged tea. So I decided to do a web search and found out about loose leaf (you would think that this would have been an obvious thing but surprisingly it was not). I stumbled across a local tea cafe called Argo tea and decided to try it out. Long story short, I fell in love. From this one store I have started to branch out to all different types of tea from several different stores.
My favorit tea is very hard to choose since I like pretty much everything there is that I have tried. I have recently started getting into pu'erh teas, which is getting to be interesting. I am always looking for new a greater tastes when it comes to tea and am trying to better express my experiences with tea.
Aside from tea I am an actor in the Chicago area. I do mostly theatre and various film projects through out the Midwest. I recently started doing Voiceover work, which I have to say is very fun and easy going.
My number ratings are more random then anything. Since I have no idea half the time when I move the slider on the happy face meter what number will be showing up.
