Great HP Printer

About Me Heavy Duty User
Comments about HP LaserJet Pro P1606DN Mono Printer:
As I commented on cons, it is only slow when you turn the quiet on. Other than that it is a very efficient printer. I love it.
Good Machine, But Not Wireless

About Me Frequent User
Unfortunately, I had to return this very fine product. It is not wireless, but will connect to a Network. I have tired of some many wires and wanted a unit easily accessible to my devices.The print quality was excellent, and the speed? Super fast printing. It gets hot on the back top portion of the printer, and you may see steam coming off it as well.I liked the printer, and if I wasn't concened about a USB connection, I would have kept it.
Awesome printer
By Rick
from Manassas, VA
Really fast print time. Document is printed before I can reach the printer. Very sharp detail.
Works well on my network
By Reggie
from New York
I had an HP Laserjet 1320 that worked very well butwas not network ready. I used it with a print server which finallydied after about 10 years of service. I decided to get a laserprinter that worked with my wired home network out of the box. Thisprimer did that and was surprisingly easy to install on mynetwork.
Giving Up on HP
By Fast Writer
This printer has been a headache from the beginning. Most of the time it thinks it's disconnected. It may work better with a non-Mac.
Requires Patience
By Aunt Roe
from Tampa FL
Took 3 hrs in chat room with HP agents to bring it back from the dead after in use only 2 days. Printer keeps shutting itself off. Noise cover is annoying because it doesn't click into place--it's just loose. I miss my old HP1300 laser printer (9 yrs old).
Good product
By George
from South Windsor CT
Seems to be a very good printer for the price. However, to print an envelope another step is required in that the "print button" has to be pushed - took a while to figure this out.

Great printer
By Bob the Printer
from Jersey City
Worked right out of the box.
Didn't work with Win XP
By officeguru
from indiana
I bought one of these for the office assistant. She has Windows 7 64 bit desktop pc. Set up was a breeze. We were printing within minutes. I like the small footprint and the fact it does duplex printing. It's really well priced for the duplex printing ability. So when my printer died I ordered a second one. However my PC has Windows XP 32 bit. I tried for a couple of hours to get it to install. There was a lot of rebooting, I downloaded software off the website thinking that might work. Finally called tech support. They walked me through a couple of things and told me it was my windows spooler. He recommended I call Microsoft and get them to fix my spooler. So I ran to the local store and bought a different brand which installed in minutes with no issues. Thank God I didn't spend $100 on tech support from Microsoft trying to make this printer work. I would recommend this printer as long as you have a Windows 7 PC.

Peter Brandt is living evidence that a trader can win that battle. Read more
"I would absolutely recommend this course to other traders! It was a fantastic experience. Expect fundamental assumptions and perceptions about trading to be challenged deeply."
– Carlos A. Pinecrest, FL
June 19, 2013
Dear trader,
We know you get many solicitations to attend "new" trading seminars.
We see them, too.
But what if you were invited to come learn from a professional full-time trader who …
Has achieved an average annual return of +41.6% …
(independently verified by auditors using 18 years of IRS statements)
Has been described as
"The greatest trader you've never heard of."
… and …
Is committed to working with you in a small group to guide you personally in how to make a living as trader.
If that sounds different, then please read on …
It's true: In one way, Peter Brandt is a pretty ordinary guy – fun, likeable, someone you'd like to meet at a party. But in another way, Peter is far from ordinary, because …
Peter Brandt is maybe the most successful trader you'll ever have the chance to meet.
At the same time, Peter is so low-key that he is often introduced as "the greatest trader you've never heard of."
EWI's president, Robert Prechter, remembers when he first watched him work:
"During the 1980s, market timing gurus were vying for first place in the various tables of rankings in Commodity Traders Consumer Report. I was often in the top three during those years, and when I wasn't at the top, the #1 guy was usually Peter Brandt. And unlike everyone else, he was doing it with real money." – Robert Prechter
Peter's track record speaks for itself. It reveals a degree of success that very few traders realize.
If you meet the course requirements this highly exclusive, small-group trading boot camp may be right for you - (the average attendee should have $500,000 or more in trading capital and be serious about trading full-time as a profession or to supplement their income and have 3-5 years market experience),
No gimmicks. No "black box." Just real instruction from a real successful trader.
Chances are that you've visited elliottwave.com before. You know we don't offer investment schemes or black boxes. That's because we understand the true challenge for most traders is overcoming their own erratic emotions.
EWI endorses this course because it's unlike any other we've attended. Put simply, Peter's boot camp is the real deal, because Peter is the real deal. Eighteen years of IRS tax records prove his success as a professional trader. That's why he accepts only serious traders – with serious trading accounts – into his exclusive boot camp. That's why past attendees include international commodity traders, entrepreneurs, hedge fund managers and investment bankers. And frankly, that's why Peter prices his boot camp a little more than the others, at $7,900, which represents the risk of loss of an average student's trade. Because, quite honestly, if you cannot afford to lose $7,900 on a trade – or invest $7,900 to become a better trader – this course is probably not for you.
"How in the world... ?"
Exactly how did Peter Brandt make 41% per year while only 1/3 of his trades worked out? That's what his exclusive 3-day traders boot camp is designed to teach you.
Here's what you will learn:
For 9 of every 10 traders, the #1 problem is not "access to the latest market data." It's not the need for "better analysis." More screens on your desk will not transform you into a winner.
The #1 problem for 90% of traders is the failure to fully understand the dynamics of risk and to control their emotions.
Nail-biting, losing sleep, worrying sick over a trade, jumping into a trade with no risk-management or exit strategy, having a strategy but not following it, letting losers run, cutting profits short – these are all recipes for failure.
You think you are immune to these errors? Take an honest look at your trading history; every big loss you see came from one of them.
Even if only SOME of this applies to you, it's time to learn how to avoid those old mistakes.
Now, the truth is that you can't re-wire your brain in a weekend; Peter Brandt knows that from decades of experience. This traders boot camp does NOT promise overnight results.
What Peter does promise is to teach you how to tame and manage the enemy inside – through personality testing, face-to-face classroom instruction, trading discussions and one-on-one assignments.
Here is what this 3-day experience will do for you:
To order by phone, call EWI Customer Service at 800-336-1618 (from within U.S.) or 770-536-0309 (from outside U.S.) and mention code: ECG2

TORRINGTON >> Public discussion will continue Wednesday regarding the proposed methadone clinic at 241 Kennedy Drive, and with it, officials representing Hartford Dispensary will have to answer questions posed by city personnel and their concerns with the possible clinic.
The Torrington Health and Recovery Center proposal's public hearing began on Sept. 12 and was continued until Wednesday at 7 p.m. in City Hall's auditorium during the Planning and Zoning Commission's meeting.
After passing through the Inlands and Wetlands Commission with understanding that it will receive a "favorable report" from Torrington's engineering department, the proposed methadone clinic's representation will be targeted with questions outlined in a memorandum from City Planner Martin Connor, detailing different requirements and concerns from around city hall and beyond.
The legal representative for Hartford Dispensary told Connor she plans on addressing Water Pollution Control Authority and Torrington Fire Department requests.
Acting Fire Chief Gary Brunoli outlined the need for the Torrington Health and Recovery Center to be compliant with a fire protection system, the need to include a secure lock box at the building's exterior for quick, after-hours access by fire officials, and to follow fire marshal regulations.
WPCA said the non-profit must adhere to sewer guidelines and develop and prove a management plan for its spent pharmaceutical products.
The zoning board did have some concerns over parking — only 14 car spots are on the current plan, and with six employees and an estimated 125 patients per day, the plan needs tweaking. Parking on Kennedy Drive is prohibited and the current building doesn't meet specific setback regulations from neighboring Alvord Park.
Economic Development Director Rose Ponte, in Connor's memo, had the same concerns.
"I have concerns related to traffic and parking availability in the area, and don't believe this is an appropriate location for this use," Ponte said. Parking concerns and traffic volume, she said, might impact Kennedy Drive.
Traffic officials at Torrington Police Department suggested traffic signals at the intersection of Kennedy Drive and Torringford West need an upgrade. The current roadwork near the intersection has nothing to do with the proposal, officials said. Continued...
The zoning commission will "need to make a finding for that the location of this proposed facility is compatible with the neighborhood in terms of traffic, noise, illumination and number of patients/ clients served," the memo states.

Tag: hindsight is 20/20
Rehearsals and Rehashing or a little R & R!
by LatinFusionTV on Apr.11, 2011, under Communication, General Posts
And I bet you asked: "Now why don't he write?"
We apologize for not writing more as we have been busy – but that is no excuse; especially since so many of you take the time to read our humble little post and even take the time to comment. Thanks for that!
But now, I will get straight to the point – In my quest to be a more effective communicator or just to be more healthy in my dealings with others – I need to talk about R & R.
Or, as I like to call it: Rehearsals and Rehashing!
R& R affects yours and my ability to communicate effectively.
When we do a little R & R, we waste time in our head, period…
But first a little back story: The mall we had partnered with (so we thought), has terminated our arrangement. The place is San Antonio, TX and the the Mall is Wonderland of the Americas. Management and staff refer the mall in the following: "There is always something going on!"
Much to our chagrin and surprise – they were not kidding. It was just not as positive as we had hoped.
They say it was nothing that we did as a group and cite incompatibility as a reason to part ways. I think and say different, but I will not draft my opinion here. What I will do is share the unnecessary need and desire for R & R.
R & R, if not Rest and Relaxation, is a waste of time and energy. Let me explain:
Rehearsing is what you do when you carry on a conversation (in your head) with someone before it happens or with someone that is not even present. You practice telling them this or that, or should I say: you are going to tell them this and that and usually is a rather assertive tone going on in your head. Problem is, when the conversation actually takes place – it does not always go as it was rehearsed and they do not respond the way you acted it out in your head – then you are stuck! And it almost always plays out different than what you initially planned or rehearsed.
Rehashing is when you go through a conversation, after it is done, over and over wishing you would have said this or that. Goes something like this: I should have told them this, I should have said that!
Some say that hindsight is 20/20; others second guess the end result – problem is it still requires wasted energy. Problem is, again, the conversation is over and it does not reflect on what was actually said, just what should have been said.
Never is it healthy because the conversation is over and resentments build between the non-existent parties. Basically, you had your chance at the meeting – do not waste energy constantly trying to change an outcome that has been decided.
Do you Understand?
I will cite an example: Recently, we had a meeting with the operations and marketing managers of the mall. This was our "Exit" meeting. They were there to tell us that we would have absolutely no more dealings with the mall.
Such is life in relationships – some work, some don't and some need a bit of working together to make it healthy.
I had planned not to say much because I did not have much to say. This was our exit. What use would it do to gripe or share how unhealthy our relationship was – IT WOULD NOT CHANGE THE OUTCOME!
During the meeting, I was constantly being asked if about my demeanor in the meeting – I was stoic and distant. Not angry, upset, nor immature – just aloof. I had nothing to say – anything I would have added to the meeting would have been fruitless. Nothing would have come from it – I repeat – IT WOULD NOT CHANGE THE OUTCOME!.
Usually, I would have thought about what I wanted to say and how I wanted to say it many times over. But because I knew where we stood with the mall and I knew how I felt about the principles – I made a conscious effort to stop thinking about what I was going to say, or wanted to say in the meeting…
Trust me – I have some reservations and thoughts about how it all went down, even from the beginning. We have all encountered something like this, haven't we?
Anyway, below is a list to save yourself from Rehearsals and Rehashes:
- Remember the message not what you want to tell them or how you want to say it;
- Create an agenda;
- Remove the emotion from your agenda;
- Make a conscious effort to catch yourself when you are playing it out in your head;
- Prepare yourself for any deviations – that way, you won't get caught off guard;
- When the meeting is over – let it stay that way – it is over;
- Try to stay healthy in your mind and in your dealings, regardless of the outcome;
- Do not go over it again and again – otherwise, you are just allowing them to rent space in your head;
- Stay away from resentment – this is the most unhealthy aspect of rehashing; and
- Make a conscious effort to catch yourself when you are rehashing in your head.
Look, this is easier said than done, especially if you are not a strong meeting person. In a nutshell:
Save rehearsals for the plays and skits – the real world requires knowing what idea/strategy/plan or message you want to convey. This takes tough planning and execution where agendas will help you be a better meeting person and less apt to get sideswiped with any change in direction.
When it is all said and done, remember that there is very little you can do or say – so accomplish as much as you can during the meeting. This way you don't feel slighted or feel like you have been cheated.
With that said, I hope this helps….
Take care, God Bless and Cool Runnings, Mon! – Michael

Things that are occurring these days, to name a few. Other things: powder, rain, cold, weird smells, french speakers, ice blasts, weird food, and on and on as we film like mad wizards on a mission of shred sorcery - CAPiTA team film #2. Here we have Phil Jacques and pop Dangs aka upstate murder doing the inspection -another thing that goes on a lot these days. "can i see that one?"
Friday, December 24, 2010
Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Festivus, whatever you choose to celebrate (or not): everyone at CAPiTA wishes you a dandy time spent with friends and family! Most of all, we wish for snow. Lots of snow.

Friends and followers of the mighty SUPER CORP are well aware that we're currently filming for our second TEAM FILM. If you haven't heard, now you have: It's happening as you read this - all season long our crew will be shuffling bodies and board bags round this earth to clack off a visual smorgasbord of shreddy goodness. Staff image maker j.f. will keep the blog full of frasee files and tales from the road. If I could bottle the smells and share them with you, I would. You'd be petrified, but being a gentleman I would be obliged to share them. Look at the photos and imagine the smells and sounds. Think dunkin donuts, dan deacon and farts, with boot smell and b.o. ENJOY!
Prior to our lil' 10yr shindig, we had a crew on the east coast (upstate NY-ish) devouring urban jammies, eating garbage plates and jamming out to club jam radio. Snowy midwest shenanigans wreaked havoc with our sanity, as both tj and fraser received light talcum blasts of travel pain. The crew, this time consisting of zima/cocard/schneider; & dangler/fraser convened and the quest for fun continued....
Sunday, December 19, 2010
Thanks to everyone who came out to share some hi fives at our party on friday. Also a huge thanks to anyone who has/does/will support our brand. We wouldn't have made 10yrs without ya! Here's to many many more years of DEVOURING EVERYTHING.

Chillin Out in Dark Places by Joe Blessett
Sunday, 01 January 2012
Published in
Smooth Jazz - CD Reviews
Be the first to comment!
Joe Blessett makes an interesting case for going into the studio and doing your own thing. His sixth release as a solo artist has him everywhere, laying down music tracks on several instruments, voicing over for effect, mixing, and even marketing his own product. The result is a pastiche of music that runs from smooth to funk, and tracks that run in and out like a fever dream.

Don't Bring Me Down, by The Heavyweights Brass Band

Published in
Traditional / New Orleans - CD Reviews
Be the first to comment!
One could alternately describe these five young Canadian musicians as a New-Orleans-style brass band, a funk band, an R&B band, or simply an eclectic group who play what pleases them. They're very good, versatile musicians, with a tight, well-rehearsed sound, clearly very much into the music that they're creating. So why has it taken me so much time to warm up to their debut album?

Charles Rendition by Fjordne
Wednesday, 28 December 2011
Published in
Ambient Jazz - CD Reviews
Be the first to comment!
Fjordne (given name, Shunichiro Fujimoto) produces music that is adventurous, expansive and a bit other-worldly, yet highly listenable and absorbing. His approach is to feature the piano as the melodic centerpiece and have electronic sounds create various moods around it. The effects change from track to track, but are sometimes wistful, other times nostalgic and occasionally mysterious.

Culmination by Donovan Mixon

Contemporary Jazz - CD Reviews
Be the first to comment!
Donovan Mixon has seen some of the world in the last two decades, and the influences show in Culmination. After teaching at the Berklee College of Music, the guitarist spent seven years in Italy, then ten in Turkey, bouncing between freelance work and teaching. Now he's back, with a group of mostly Turkish musicians, and the result is a mix of chamber jazz, world music, and bop that is intense, yet quiet and film-like in atmosphere.

Source Material by the Mike Baggetta Quartet
Tuesday, 22 November 2011
Published in
Contemporary Jazz - CD Reviews
Be the first to comment!
It's not often that one begins an album with a drum solo, but that's the sort of thing that makes one take notice. Guitarist Mike Baggetta is full of surprises on his second release with this quartet, with unusual moods and textures the order of the day. A hot young gun on the New York scene and winner of an ASCAP Young Jazz Composer Award, comparisons will be made to Bill Frisell and Ralph Towner, but that's certainly not all there is to Baggetta. While he shares some stylistic elements and sense of space with both, he goes his own way more often than not.

breaking news
NEOSHO, MO.--- Punk'n is the smallest of several
dogs in a Neosho neighborhood suffering from injuries caused by a
mysterious animal.
"Two slashes across her back, and in some places, it's two inches
deep," states Reta Liles, Mint Lane Resident.
Her owner, Reta Liles says the dog is lucky to be alive.
"It was bad. She was laid open from side to side," states Liles.
Liles' second dog to be attacked, Buddy, a golden lab, was not so
"He hadn't been dead very long when I found him. I think he just
layed there and bled to death. It broke my heart. I cried all night,"
says Liles.
So far, neighbors living on Mint Lane have been able to confirm 8
brutal dog attacks, caused by something living in the wilderness behind
their homes.
"There has been two that I know of that have been killed and the
rest have just been attacked and I know it has cost a lot of money,"
states Liles.
Some residents were so concerned, they hired professional trackers
to find out what was doing the killing.
"Thought it was a mountain lion because of the depth of the tracks
and so forth," says Liles.
The mysterious animal has not yet been seen and Liles says she is
concerned it may turn from attacking dogs to humans.
"This thing needs to be relocated or irradiated or something. I
don't want to see any of my kids or my neighbors get tore up," states
As for Punk'n, she now has to be kept in doors, while Liles says
she is still missing her dog, Buddy.
"I just had a feeling that he needed me, but I couldn't get to him.
It hurts a lot. He was a good dog," says Liles.
Residents on Mint Lane are working to install a critter cam in
their neighborhood, because authorities tell them action can't be taken
until there is visual proof of the animal.

Nissan's quirky Cube is down but not out
Despite minimal sales, Nissan North America will continue selling its boxy, youth-oriented Nissan Cube crossover, the automaker's top U.S. sales executive says.
Nissan sold just 198 Cubes in October.
"It's a niche product that has found its place in the market," Brian Carolin, Nissan North America's senior vice president for sales and marketing, said in its defense at the Los Angeles auto show. "It benefited particularly when gas prices were spiking earlier this year, and we were struggling to get a supply of it. We had a lot of demand for it."
The Cube, with a 1.8-liter engine, was released in 2009 as a competitor to the equally boxy Scion xB. In its first year, 21,471 Cubes were sold in the United States; and in its second, almost 23,000. In the first 10 months of this year, 13,850 were sold, partly because of production challenges following the March 11 Japan earthquake.
The Cube's entry price is $15,500, including shipping. Because it is imported from Japan, its modest margin has suffered from the rising value of the yen, which makes sales in dollars less valuable.
Nissan is currently offering no incentives on the Cube.
"We recognize that that segment is quite limited in its potential," Carolin said. "But it's an image vehicle in its own way, and we are going to continue to see it respond when there are gas price increases. So we're definitely going to continue with it."

Protecting Rivers & Your Clean Water
Become a Part of History: Join the National River Cleanup®
Alexis Goggans, Manager, National River Cleanup Campaign
May 20, 2013 | National River Cleanup
Rivers connect us. And not just to communities and ecosystems downstream, but to past and future generations as well. I remember the first time I saw the Mississippi River. I was on my way to Beale Street in Memphis, Tennessee, when I made a last-minute stop at the visitor center, located on the banks of the Mississippi.

On a hike in Los Padres National Forest outside of Santa Barbara, CA, I saw this aquatic garter snake while rock-hopping across Manzana Creek. Aquatic garter snakes flick their tongues to mimic the presence of an insect on the water's surface, much like a fly fisherman does, in order to draw small fish within striking distance. This snake didn't catch anything while I was watching him, but he got me thinking. Fish have plenty to worry about without dams threatening their survival.

Fay Augustyn, Intermountain West Blue Trails Manager
May 15, 2013 | Climate Change
Like many states in the western U.S., California struggles with a problem balancing water supplies and demands and climate change is exacerbating these pressures. Almost three-quarters of the state's available water supply originate in the northern third of the state while 80 percent of water demand is located in the southern two-thirds. The state's Mediterranean climate with wet winters and dry summers also intensifies this water imbalance.

As light ebbed from the cobalt evening sky, I thought not about the damp bangs, pasted to my forehead by the humid, post-storm air, or the inky darkness that began to envelope us. Instead, my attention was solely focused on the gentle whir of the cast net as it sailed through the air, its splash as it met its mark on the Choptank River and the notion that this might be one of the coolest, weirdest Friday nights I've had in a while.

Sailing Sunglasses
There are few sports that test the ability of your eyewear to the limit - but for sure, sailing sunglasses are going to come in for a rough time! They need to block wind and unwanted light from the sides and bottom of your vision - something that Rapid Eyewear's range does very well. If you sail on the open seas, you'll also experience some crazy light changes - that's why Rapid Eyewear's interchangeable lens system is ideal because, if the weather or light is poor, you can use the light-enhancing lenses and when it's bright and there's lots of glare, polarised beige or grey mirror will do the trick.
Lightweight, wrap-around sunglasses are perfect for sailing, and so is the
inclusion of a retainer to ensure your eyewear remains firmly where you want it, i.e. on your head and not in the water.
Photo: Channel 5's 'The Gadget Show' presenter Ortis Deley wears Rapid Eyewear expert for a Challenge against co-presenter Jason.
Floating Sunglasses
Jet skiers and water skiers will find our Float sunglasses especially ideal since, unlike most 'lightweight' plastic sunglasses, they won't sink if you drop them in the water. these amazing sunglasses weigh just 30g, making them light enough to simply bob up and down if they do slip off.
Rx Prescription Sailing Sunglasses
If you are a prescription wearer, choose Pro Performance Plus. These Rx based sunglasses provide a lightweight, attractive option for spectacle wearers.

U.S. stocks ended little changed Wednesday, as investors await the outcome of a crucial meeting of European Central Bank officials early Thursday and the latest U.S. employment data on Friday.
The Dow Jones industrial average edged up nearly 0.1%, while the S&P 500 lost 0.1%. The Nasdaq fell 0.2%.
Disney led gainers on the Dow, rising nearly 3% to a new 52-week high. American Express was the main laggard, falling more than 2%.
"We're waiting for the ECB tomorrow, and then the Fed next week," said Bernard Kavanagh, vice president of portfolio management for St. Louis-based broker Stifel Nicolaus.
Investors are expecting ECB president Mario Draghi to announce the details of a new bond-buying program for euro-area governments that agree to certain terms. The program will involve unlimited purchases of bonds, which will be "sterilized" to ease concerns about printing money, according to Bloomberg.
Meanwhile, investors are keeping a close watch on all economic numbers ahead of the Federal Reserve's Sept. 12-13 policy meeting, since the reports will likely influence the central bank's decision on whether it will announce more quantitative easing. The government is expected to report Friday that employers added 120,000 jobs in August, according to economists surveyed by CNNMoney.
Fed chairman Ben Bernanke made the case for more stimulus in a speech last week, although analysts say he may come under political pressure ahead of this year's presidential election.
World Markets: European stocks closed mixed. Britain's FTSE 100 slid 0.2%, while France's CAC 40 gained 0.2% and the DAX in Germany added 0.4%.
Asian markets closed lower Wednesday. The Shanghai Composite shed 0.3%, the Hang Seng in Hong Kong dropped 1.5%, and Japan's Nikkei lost 1.1%.
Companies: Safeway announced plans to file for an initial public offering for its prepaid gift card business, Blackhawk Network Holdings. Shares of the California-based grocery chain rose nearly 5%.

PENNSYLVANIA MINING ACCIDENTS 1869 - 1916 By Gerald E. Sherard (March 2007) During the earth's Carboniferous Geologic Period, 250 to 400 million B.C., material was deposited that eventually transformed to anthracite coal. At that time most of Pennsylvania was a flat, hot, moist plain covered with steaming swamps thick with tall trees and wide spreading ferns. In 1762, Connecticut settlers in the Wyoming Valley discovered the anthracite coal seams. At that time, the estimations are that 16 billion tons of coal lied within the anthracite seams in northeastern Pennsylvania. Exposed anthracite coal outcrops surfaced along the banks of the Susquehanna River. In 1820, the first recorded anthracite coal company was the Lehigh Coal Mining Company. By 1900, the historical total fatal and nonfatal accident count in anthracite mines was estimated to be over 13,000 men, women and children. By 1914, annual employment at anthracite mines had reached 180,000 workers. In 1917, anthracite coal production peaked at over 100 million tons. Since 1870, the Pennsylvania Annual Reports reflect over 51,483 deaths from mining accidents, over 31,113 deaths in anthracite mines and over 20,370 deaths in bituminous mines (12). In the United States, the first reported mine explosion was in 1810 in Virginia. Prior to 1920, mining was an unhealthy and dangerous occupation. There were no rules to ensure safety in the industry, whether in the mine, mill, or smelter. In the early 1900s, laws to improve and monitor mine safety were enacted by both states and later by the federal government. It took many years for the companies to implement regular reporting of the accidents, but the number that was reported were impressive. In the early 1900s, over an eighteen month period, a mine worker's chance of being crushed, asphyxiated, burned, blasted, drowned, or similarly maimed or killed was more than one in a hundred. If you worked in the mines for twenty years, your overall risk increased to more than one in five. Since 1900, more than 104,000 miners have died in accidents in the U.S. with most of these fatalities occurring from 1900 to 1978. The peak year for U.S. fatalities was 1907 with 3,242 fatalities. In addition many more miners suffered disabling and lifelong injuries in nonfatal accidents. Accidents sometimes occurred on the way to and from work. Courageous, was the miner who rode the huge ore wagons to and from work, often fully loaded and picking their way along steep shelf "roads" hugging the sides of steep hills. Once the miner got to the mine, he was lowered down a poorly lit shaft in an ore bucket or cage, often several hundred feet, to his working level. How would you like to ride up an ore bucket or wait for a ride if you and your co-workers had to suddenly escape from a mine shaft several hundred feet down? Once down to his working level, the miner had to contend with moving tram cars, steam lines, electric wiring, machinery of various types, and the heavy, hot, and massively vibrating drills. Supporting timber if poorly positioned, or if the wood became water-soaked and rotten, or with minor shifts in the earth's crust, tons of rock would suddenly fall, trapping or crushing the miners. The mine's structures and supports were wood, and fire was a constant threat. 1

When I was in London a couple of weeks ago speaking at the Academy of Chocolate conference, I had the great privilege of being the last speaker of the day. This enabled me to pay attention to what everybody else was saying and present a summary of what I heard in the context of my own panel presentation which was billed as, "The Global Future of Chocolate."
After presenting a summation, I urged the audience to consider a number of calls to action. Too often at conferences like this one a great deal of good information is shared but then that information does not get disseminated after the conference is over. We all go our own separate ways and little substantive really occurs.
I presented two calls to action that are related to each other:
1) The fine chocolate industry needs professional certification programs similar to ones that graduate professional sommeliers in wine.
2) The fine chocolate industry needs a $100 bar of chocolate.
If you think about it, if all wine was priced under $20/bottle and the majority of it was mass market and not very well differentiated, there would be no need for sommeliers. The fact that there are $1000 bottles makes $100 bottles seem less extravagant and the $100 bottles make $10-20 bottles seem like very good deals indeed.
More to the point, the actual manufacturing cost difference between the $1000 bottle and the $100 (or $20 bottle) are not as great as the price differences indicate. The price differences are a result of many factors that include wine quality, origin, manufacturer, scarcity, and reviews. What this means in practice is that there is a lot of money in the system that can be used to pay professionals whose job it is to educate people about why it's okay to pay $1000 for a bottle - or $100 for a bottle - when there are lots of much-more-than-adequate $10-20 bottles around.
Getting back to chocolate, most of it is mass market blah that costs $1-3 per bar. Most bars are in the $3-7 range. There is a small handful of bars that cost $10-15, and an even small number of bars that cost $20 or more — at least here in the US. Some of the price differential is related to manufacturing costs - e.g., higher prices for beans in smaller quantities. However, here in the US, the largest factors contributing to high retail prices on the most expensive bars are exchange rates (the US$ is fairly weak right now), the cost of importing, and a relatively high cost of specialty foods distribution here in the US. The Bonnat Porcelana bars that cost $25 here in New York can be purchased for half that price in France.
Because the vast majority of chocolate bars is under $7 at retail, there is no money in the system to pay for professional chocolate sommeliers and professional chocolate critics. There is a small group of people - relatively speaking - who do this, but I don't know a one who can make a decent full-time living being just a chocolate sommelier/critic.
What this means is that there is neither any need for, nor any economic value in, someone pursuing a professional certification because there is no way for anyone to generate a decent return on investment on the time and money invested in earning the certification, in part because the market does not recognize the need for it.
With a $100 chocolate bar (or, ideally, many $100 chocolate bars), the stage is set for the conditions that support professional certifications. The $100 chocolate bar makes the $10-20 bar seem not so unreasonable in price, and, thus "more affordable" for people looking to expand their taste. More importantly, the actual cost of production of a $100 bar is not 10x the cost of a $10 bar, which means that there would be more money in the system for marketing - which supports a host of other activities.
It is also very important that any $100 bar of chocolate be worth that price based on intrinsic factors that people who are knowledgeable about chocolate will agree support that price. The bar doesn't cost $100 because it is decorated with gold leaf or contains every expensive other ingredients: the bar costs $100 because of what went in to its making.
Now, having said that, I don't know exactly what those factors are. However, the idea was also presented at the Origin Chocolate conference in Amsterdam — actually for a €100 bar — just four days after I proposed it by Philipp Kauffmann, one of the founders of the Original Beans chocolate company, independently of my bringing it up in London. So I am not the only one thinking this way.
Having said all that, I am writing this in the hopes of hearing from members: a) what they think of the idea, in general, and b) what they think attributes of a $100 bar might include. Following are some of my ideas for factors that could contribute to a $100 bar:
#1) When I was talking with Mikkel Friis-Holm in London, he mentioned that he had some chocolate that was inedibly tannic when it was made. He put it away for a couple of months and then tasted it again and the level of tannins was much lower than it was when the chocolate was made. Still inedible, but much better. He is going to taste the chocolate again several months from now to see if it's any better. The corollary here is that there is actually very little wine that is made to be drunk in the days or weeks immediately after it's produced. Virtually all wine made is aged to some extent - and a lot of wine is made knowing that it will take years (or decades) before the wine reaches its optimal drinking condition. Virtually all chocolate is made to consume "young." Even when it's got a shelf life rating of two years, it's made to be consumed within weeks of being made. I wonder what would happen if people deliberately started making chocolate that was not going to be fit for consumption for two to five years, or more? And then selling "bar futures" on the chocolate.
#2) I was talking with Sepp Schönbächler of Felchlin in Amsterdam and he mentioned that Felchlin has quantities of the the 65% Grand Cru Maracaibo dating back to 1999. Whenever a new person comes into his department, they are tasked with re-tempering some of that chocolate which is, of course, all Form VI crystals at this point. Sepp notices some differences in taste between the 1999 "vintage" and the current "vintage" -- mainly in the fact that some of the top-note aromatic notes have disappeared. At the same time, the loss of those top notes should allow other flavor notes to come forward. There are wine and spirits industry practices of vintage blending. For example, in rums, solera blending adds small amounts of aged rum to younger rums to up the "tasting age" and make a limited supply of aged rum go much farther. I wonder what the outcome would be of blending a small amount of a much older chocolate with younger versions of the same chocolate (or different chocolates)? You could get the "youth and vitality" of the newer chocolates with some of the depth and complexity of the older chocolates.
#3) What about inoculating a milk chocolate with a specific mold spore after being aged for one year and then age it for one or more years longer?
The fact is, no-one really knows what the outcomes of such practices would be, because the economics of the $7 bar market don't support such lines of experimentation. But I put the challenge out there to chocolate makers around the word, especially to companies with stock of older chocolates, to start exactly that sort of experimentation - to set aside a very short-term outlook and think about practices that could result in a $100 bar of chocolate that everyone agrees is worth it.
I don't think that the $100 bar will appear this year or next, but it could. Five to ten years is a more reasonable time frame, but only if we get started down this path soon.
Your thoughts?
[Note: Edited on 11/4 by the OP to correct grammar and typos. ]
And what about Emmaneul Andren Gastronomy's $98 for four pralines? Jeez
Fritz used to have a $250 truffle - it's been some time since we chatted, so i'm not sure if he still does or not.
I'll happily make a $100 bar, sold by the dozen. You choose the beans, blend, and concentration. Pls let me know when you'd like me to start shipping them 8-)
I'll one-up you and offer a baker's dozen for the price of 12.
...and free shipping.
You ship now? To New York?
<big grin - sorry, couldn't resist, hope you don't mind the humor>
That gave me a good chuckle Clay. You know I was just having fun too!
who says the world of chocolate's not a cut-throat, competitive business? 8-)
Fritz's truffle is expensive as it is - it's made to order, only - because of the ingredients, including gold leaf.
For the $100 bars you're offering to make, what characteristics of the bars make them worthy of the price tag, other than made to order in extremely limited availability?
It was tongue in cheek. however i suppose i could do bars based off of extra-ordinarily rare trees (most people don't have access to germplasm databases), or crossed with things like theobroma grandiflorum.
However, uniqueness of raw materials and skill/knowledge of the preparer aren't going to be sufficient to justify/sustain an elevated price. There will need to be something less directly product related to accompany it.
Hawaii has the rarity , a diverse genetic pool, rich, volcanic soil and benefit of being the only US location to have a chocolate industry with the ability to grow its own material. Now what we need is some skilled bean to bar chocolate maker to come in and elevate that.
I totally agree that when you raise the top end, the bottom comes up in price and the mid range experiences stronger sales. I' saw this over and over in the my former career as a large jeweler, and continually tested and tweaked it. Marketing is one aspect. I Think the Heirloom Cacao Initiative is one of the means in the future to facilitate the reality of higher priced and appreciated bars, provided skilled hands are working with the beans.
You also need to start thinking about a PDO system. Coffee has Kona all sewn up and probably won't like the application to cacao. Place names are going to be very important to elevating awareness.
Many people know Chuao, and there are many names associated with cacao but they are used confusingly. Ocumare is a place? And a varietal? What about Rio Caribe? Can you get true criollos from Rio Caribe? Maralumi? Place or made up name?
Knowing what you have (and don't) and communicating it properly will be important in getting better prices.
Hawaii can lead the way on this; the community is small, the industry is still really nascent, and there are knowledgeable people. Getting the legislature to recognize the potential economic advantage (making the connection to Kona) could get them to act.
I've been saying this for some time, and I will continue to press my case: when it comes to efforts to raise the apparent value (and price) of chocolate, the model should not be wine. The model should be coffee.
For the first 100 years after it became fairly popular (ca. mid-1800's) coffee was an industrial product produced almost exclusively in factories, with little consideration for quality. The main goal was simply to sell as much as possible at the lowest price possible. Sound familiar?
The specialty coffee movement completely transformed this model. I was part of the "second wave" off coffee, and when we started selling "gourmet" coffee and espresso beverages in the 70's and 80's people were, to put it mildly, skeptical. The idea that there even was such a thing as "gourmet coffee" seemed ridiculous to many people. It was like claiming you had "gourmet milk". Coffee was a commodity, and commodities were, by definition, the opposite of gourmet.
Nearly every day we had to explain to customers why they should pay so much more for our coffee drinks. After all, it was "just coffee". Also, people thought our coffee was "too strong", and would often ask is to water it down so that it tasted "normal". Again, does this sound familiar?
But here's the thing: over the course of less than five years people stopped questioning our pricing, and they also quit asking us to water down our coffee. We stopped being a rare (and odd) treat and instead turned into a necessary part of the daily routine. And this, by the way, was all before Starbucks. Starbucks, despite all of their legitimate shortcomings, turned a racecar into a rocket ship.
Now, across the country, the specialty coffee business remains nearly entirely non price-sensitive. Paying $3-$5 for a coffee drink is the new normal, and even including inflation, the average price of retail coffee beans has probably gone up by 20%-30%.
More interestingly, the top tier of coffee beans has gone up considerably. These days there are numerous specialty coffees that cost $50-$80 a pound, and the high end can go much higher. For example in June of this year Stumptown Coffee paid over $12,000 for a mere 150 pounds of a varietal of green beans from Guatemala. That's over $80 a pound, which means that once roasted this coffee will almost certainly sell for a minimum of $250 a pound. Probably more. And I doubt that they will have much trouble finding willing buyers.
This is what the coffee industry has done in only several decades. And in my opinion, if you want to see $100 chocolate bars some day this is the path to follow. In less than 25 years the American specialty coffee industry went from nothing to a multi-billion dollar juggernaut. And in the same period of time coffee went from a cheap commodity to a respected and profitable gourmet product. Everything that the new wave of chocolate makers want has been accomplished by the specialty coffee industry. Why aren't we paying more attention to that?
When I was at the Northwest Chocolate Festival a few weeks ago there was a seminar in which exactly this question was put to a panel of industry insiders: how can we get chocolate priced along more of a spectrum, like wine? Of course "like wine". Always "like wine". And of course everyone proceeded to talk about how great it was that wine could sell for $10 or for $5,000 and how chocolate needed to be and deserved to be more like this. Which led to the inescapable (and in my opinion completely erroneous) view that the business model for chocolate had to be more like the one used for wine. Nobody of course had any idea how to make that happen, but it seemed as if everyone agreed that this was the goal.
But in my view this is not going to happen, because wine has a unique culture that cannot be and will not be replicated by chocolate. That's the bad news. The good news is that there is already a business model that could serve as a nearly perfect blueprint for how to move the chocolate industry forward, and it CAN be replicated by the chocolate industry.
You want a way forward? You want a business model that will yield a profitable industry along with customers who will spend up to $50/ounce for chocolate? Quit thinking wine. Start thinking coffee.
