A few recent lunchtime "Here, try this" tastes.
- 2003 Méo-Camuzet Frère et Sœurs Bourgogne - France, Burgundy, Bourgogne (4/13/2006)
Do you care where wine comes from and what it is made from? If not, this wine is for you. Nice ripe "grapes and sun" fruit reminds one of grenache while a hint of pepper and meat makes one wonder how much syrah was blended in. Tasted blind, that's what my response is. And, if you're looking for a nice Côtes-du-Rhone, this will fit the bill. It even has enough tannic structure and heft to make it a wee bit "serious" as C-d-R go. Too bad it's a Burg. Victim of the vintage, I suspect. Not for me.
- 2003 Emmanuel Giboulot Bourgogne Blanc - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Bourgogne Blanc (4/15/2006)
(Tasted in store, then more in a more leisurely way from a full bottle at home.) A lighter straw yellow than the Chatelaine, this looks younger and fresher. Nose shows ripe apple fruit with a nice undercurrent of citrus and just a hint of something tropical. The palate follows suit with surprisingly good acid and a lean definition that is quite pleasing. Not a lot of complexity or size, but a nicely defined effort for the vintage. My wife is sending me out for more. According to the merchant this is chardonnay blended with pinot gris and pinot blanc. The lighter gris/blanc in the mix definitely shows up in the form of a quenchable fresh element that was missing from the Chatelaine.
- 2003 Emmanuel Giboulot Le Grande Chatelaine - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune (4/14/2006)
A bit of gold depth sneaking into the expected younger straw yellow and a surprising hint of viscosity as one swirls the wine around. Nose is sweet and opulent, but with ripe fruit sweetness, not oak sweetness. There's also a bit of mineral to go with the tropical fruit. On the palate, more tropical fruit with pineapple and passion fruit. Again, there's a bit of attractive mineral underneath, but it is all overwhelmed by the ripe, ripe opulence of the fruit. There's just no acid or any angled edges to put the fruit in relief or bring any freshness. Another victim of the vintage, I suppose.

We tried to be nice but the Antorians won't listen… I think it's time to bring the war to them by building the Anti-Antorian Orbital Magnifying Glass Cannon
Series of jumps to ferry parts to a central shipyard planet where construction is happening. After the last piece is delivered the final assembly begins with a big onscreen timer. A randomized enemy (which could be one of several since the parts are coming from each major sector) jumps in and has to be kept at bay long enough to finish the fragile but powerful OMG cannon.

Fresh Crab Recipes
Caribbean Crab Pilaf Recipe (Matete)
When I went back to Paris last summer, Papa told me about their recent vacation to the magical islands of the French West Indies (Antilles francaises), Martinique and Guadeloupe. He told me about the food he ate there and about a particular dish he adored called Matété (also named Matoutou). It's a spicy crab pilaf and its preparation is very similar to our Vietnamese crab cua rang muối.
The difference from the Asian dish is the flavorings, which consist of fresh thyme, celery, flat-leaf parsley, bay leaves, green onions and fresh Scotch bonnet peppers. We planted hot chile seeds at the beginning of the summer and they're just about ripe and ready to be cooked!

Vietnamese Crab Recipe: Cua Xao Sate
If you adore seafood as much as I do, you're in for a treat. This is a typical Vietnamese sauteed crab recipe called cua xào satế. The key to this recipe is in the preparation of the crab itself.
First, everything in the crab was used. What made the sauce was the use of "crab butter" as well as the corals from the inside of the crab. Then, I deep-fried the rest of the crabs and tossed them in a fragrant sauce called "satế," which consisted of garlic, ginger, hoisin sauce, glass noodles and plenty of fresh chiles.
Full Recipe...
Fermented Black Bean Crab Recipe
We had a giant seafood feast last weekend, and believe it or not, we cooked 12 whole crabs. The main flavoring of this dish was fermented black beans, which are very common in Asian cooking. I also added fresh green chiles and a lot of Thai basil leaves.
The crabs are prepared in two steps. First, they're fried, and then to finish them off, they are stir-fried with the fermented bean sauce and a bit of cooking wine. It gets a bit messy around the stove, but the result is worth the effort!
Full Recipe...
Sauteed Crab with Ginger and Basil
It never occurred to me until today that the reason I don't sauté crab that often is because the preparation can be very messy. Removing the abdominal flaps, separating the back fin, gathering the crab "butter" and corals from the inside of the crabs in a bowl and cracking the claws aren't the most glamorous of tasks. As I was chatting with the fish monger at my local market, he offered to clean the crabs for me and said he would do it whenever I feel like eating crab. How sweet of him!
I ran home and immediately sautéed the crab claws. To give the seafood dish a nice fragrance, I cooked the crab with freshly grated ginger, roasted garlic, sweet paprika, cayenne powder, a squeeze of lemon juice, sweet basil leaves and dry white wine. I also find that the addition of shallots and a bit of butter enhances just about any dish.
The crab was cooked perfectly; the meat came right out of the shell. And rather than getting messy eating crab at a restaurant, isn't it way better to pig out in the comfort of your own home?

Cua Rang Muoi (Vietnamese Salted Crab Recipe)
I love cooking seafood, but I don't always get the chance because of the number of vegetarians in my house. So when I do prepare seafood, I make a point of getting the freshest ingredients I can, and today that was crab.
Cua rang muối is one of my favorite recipes for preparing crab. The Vietnamese name literally translates to "crab toasted (roasted) in salt crust". The preparation is quite messy but the cooking time is fairly fast. The main ingredients are whole crabs (of course), freshly cracked black pepper, coarse sea salt, garlic, jalapeño chile peppers, green onions and tapioca starch. When cooked properly, the strong smell of seafood shouldn't bother anyone around with a seafood phobia. And for those of you who love seafood as much as I do, you're in for a treat!
Don't they look like dentist tools?

Kip Moore Anxious to Top McGraw on the Basketball Court
The trash talk has begun. Tim McGraw is known for his music and the way he makes a basketball hoop sing before shows. Kip Moore had a basketball scholarship at Wallace State College in Alabama. The two men start touring together next Friday in Fresno, Calif. You can see where this is headed.
"If I start beating up on him he may not wanna play anymore so I'm trying to figure out how I gotta handle that situation," Moore tells Taste of Country with a laugh. He says the two of them have actually been talking smack for a few weeks. If you thought playing with your headliner is like playing with the president -- give him a good game but let him win -- you're wrong!
"I can't do that. I can't let him win. That's just not going to happen," he says adding he might be out of a job by June. He does respect his new boss's game however. Last summer he told ToC McGraw would be his shooting guard on his country music dream team (Trace Adkins would play center).
Of course their main goal is giving fans an entertaining show. Moore likes the challenge of uniting 15,000 rowdy country lovers, although he also appreciates smaller, more personal spaces. Fans will get that this weekend (May 3) during his gig at the Listening Room in Nashville.
"It's rare we get to strip it down and play acoustic and hear the stories behind the songs," Moore says. "You can't do that when you play the festivals with McGraw and you got 45 minutes and you got a wild drunk crowd."
Moore's set is part of a weekend worth of activities for Chase Marriott Rewards members. They'll be experiencing an authentic Nashville weekend with behind-the-scenes access to the Grand Ole Opry and an inside look at country music songwriting.
Find all of Moore's dates with McGraw at his official website. His current single is 'Dirt Road,' a song from his upcoming second studio album scheduled for later this year.

First just the facts:
Name: Frederick Samuel Zaugg
Born: 09-Jun-1871, Salt Creek Twp, Wayne County, Ohio
Married: Julia Maria Evemeyer, 03-Sep-1902, Christian County, Illinois
Died: 17-Oct-1941, Wooster, Wayne County, Ohio [Find-A-Grave memorial]
Relationship: Frederick is my 1st cousin 4 times removed.
I realize that in my post about the Zaugg Book I said I was going to write about Jacob Sr's children and I'm totally veering off course with this post, but I think it's justified.
Recently there was a link on Facebook to a treasure trove of items for sale on eBay for some lucky family in Meigs County Ohio - pictures and other family history memorabilia. I have ancestors from Meigs County, but not one name was familiar. After I was done drooling over the Meigs County items, I did a quick search for anything Zaugg related. I decided to pass on the $1,800 "Rare antique Swiss neck cittern (Halszither), bearing the original label by the maker: Johan Zaugg, im ??? ???, Signau ???, 1829." However as I continued to scroll through the offerings I was amazed when this popped up:
It's a small aluminum "pin tray" that looked to be in remarkable good condition. Before I decided to actually purchase this item, I needed to make sure that the Reverend Zaugg and I actually had a connection. I seemed to remember seeing something recently in one of my sorting frenzies that mentioned a Rev Zaugg, and sure enough I found the following obituary in my collection:
Emma Zaugg and you'll notice at the end it mentions, "Rev F. S. Zaugg, a cousin of the deceased is conducting the funeral service." Anyway, a little more research revealed that Rev Zaugg and I are indeed related so I am now the proud owner of this piece of Zaugg memorabilia.
Incidentally, this obituary is another one of those items that someone in my family, probably my Grandma Ritchie, carefully cut out leaving no indication as to the newspaper it was published in. It's a reminder that I need to make a list of all of these, with death dates, for my next trip to Wayne County. My working theory is that they all come from the Wooster Daily Record but I'd like to verify that.
So, I hope I can be forgiven for this detour in my Zaugg postings after finding this wonderful keepsake.

PRINCETON – Imagine children in filthy, worn-out clothes, living like squatters in unheated, abandoned buildings.
Life is even harder for the thousands who become sex slaves.
Thanks to caring people in the Sauk Valley and surrounding communities, these young Romanians have hope.
Volunteers with Another Child Foundation, based in Princeton, travel to Romania several times a year to meet physical and emotional needs, provide education and prevent human trafficking. ACF partners with an organization called Buckner Romania to provide the ministries.
Tim Oloffson, a 1980 graduate of Manlius High School, started the nonprofit foundation after delivering shoes to Romanian orphans in 2006.
"My heart was changed when I saw the need there," the 50-year-old Wyanet man said.
Many Romanian children own only one pair of shoes, and cut the tops off when their feet grow. Unlike them, Oloffson's daughter, Brittany – now a 20-year-old student at Sauk Valley Community College in Dixon – had "the best of everything."
Why? Brittany was born in America, Oloffson said.
Denise Carl, 44, of Sterling, met Oloffson on the trip. She remembers bright smiles on children's faces when they received new shoes. She traveled to Romania again in 2010, with ACF, to offer a Vacation Bible School.
"It's rewarding to know you're making a difference in these kids' lives," she said.
ACF volunteers also teach life skills to orphans at Transitional Living Center; provide needed items; and educate children at Point of Hope Development Center.
The transitional center prevents orphans who are aging out of government institutions from falling into the hands of human traffickers who prey on the vulnerable, often luring them with fake job offers, Oloffson said.
With a high orphan population, Romania is "a hot spot" for the European sex trade; 70 percent of girls become prostitutes or sex slaves, Oloffson said.
"That's a number that's just totally unacceptable ... It's just so easy for those girls to get trapped."
At the center, orphans who lack education and life skills learn how to budget, shop for groceries, schedule medical appointments, and other skills necessary for independent living.
The development center provides preschool and after-school programs to more than 100 children daily, according to the foundation website. They also receive hot meals, showers and health care.
Volunteers also distribute clothes, coats, backpacks, school supplies and much-needed shoes and socks. Kids love to pick them out, Oloffson said, because most never shop.
"We work with the poorest of the poor in this community," he said.
The Rev. Phil Gronbach, 67, of Sterling, teaching pastor at New Life Lutheran Church, joined ACF in October 2011 to minister to Gypsy children in Romania.
"Gypsies are looked down upon," he said. "They are at the bottom of society."
Gronbach told them Jesus loved them and hugged them. The next day, they ran up to him, wrapped their little arms around his knees, and told him the same thing.
"They really were craving affection," he said, "somebody that loved them, respected them."
Volunteers work with the same children over and over to build relationships. A language barrier exists, Oloffson said, but "smiles and hugs go a long way.
"We just want to love children, and that's what God calls us to do."
Oloffson hopes, through the mission trips, others will be inspired to change their world – including their own communities.
Carl agrees.
"We need to look outside of ourselves," she said.

Mission of Hope Collecting Box
The Mission of Hope
was a Christian charity.
It helped the children
of unmarried mothers.
The Mission needed the money
collected in this box
to run its maternity home,
nurseries and children's homes.
0 mins 0 secs
Somone who lived
in a Mission of Hope children's home
remembers their experiences:
"There was a certain sense of security,
like we were in a home,
we were well cared for,
we were fed regularly,
we were warm,
all our physical needs
were definitely met.
But I think deep within myself
I knew something was missing."
"I remember one night
I was putting my doll to bed
and I remember tucking her in
and thinking
'I wish I had someone
to tuck me in like that',
that feeling
that someone belonged to me.
I guess I believe they done
the best they could
with what they knew,
but there wasn't a lot of love.
Thank God for them
but no child belongs
in a children's home.
But I am grateful
because it was there
that I gave my heart to Jesus.
And Gods hand
has always been on my life ever since."
Helping unmarried mothers
The Mission of Hope opened
Birdhurst Lodge in South Croydon
in 1906.
It was a place where unmarried mothers
could give birth to their babies.
At the time
women risked social disgrace
if they had a child
when they were not married.
Some mothers
were able to keep their babies.
Most children were adopted
or moved into a children's home.
By the 1950s
the Mission of Hope ran
five nurseries
and three children's homes.

About a month ago, I commented on the futility of attempting gun control.
I wrote that "there are 270 million privately owned firearms in the U.S. The U.S. is the world leader in both the number of privately owned guns and, more telling, the rate of gun ownership, which is 88.2 guns per 100 people.
"Based on these and other statistics, any discussion of school safety in the event of the appearance of a shooter must include the acknowledgment that the easy access to guns in America is here to stay."
The futility of trying to close this barn door long after the horses have escaped has either slipped the minds of those in Washington, D.C. or they chose to ignore it. After the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Conn., the administration was forced to wear its righteous indignation hat and go through the motions of attempting some reform.
In that column, I used prescription drugs as an example of control gone awry. I wrote, "A prescription from a pharmacy requires the authorization of a person who is licensed by the federal government to issue it, yet according to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, prescription drugs kill far more people each year than illegal drugs or deaths by motor vehicles or deaths by guns. Yet, there is no significant call for a control of cars or further control of the prescription drug system. There is no war on legal drugs."
Lo and behold, the Los Angeles Times ran a headline last week that read, "Federal panel advises tighter controls on painkiller Vicodin," followed by the subhead, "In a move to stem the epidemic of prescription drug deaths, an advisory panel to the FDA recommends that the agency reclassify hydrocodone, the active ingredient in Vicodin, as a Schedule II narcotic."
It is highly unlikely that anyone in D.C. reads this column each week, so I cannot take credit for having inspired the Federal Drug Administration. My main source of satisfaction is knowing that I was ahead of the curve.
Local gun control is now a hot topic here in Newport-Mesa as decision-makers scramble to reassure parents that our schools are safe. So let's be clear: Our schools are safe. That is not to say that more cannot be done to protect our students, but there is a tipping which, once past, will provide a false sense of security that could actually serve to weaken security through increased complacency.
Complacency occurs when students, teachers and administrators feel safe inside their school through the presence of metal detectors, law enforcement or other armed personnel, or cameras, or all of the above, and choose not to take action when action is required. None of these safety measures, or even all of them, will prevent a determined individual from bringing a gun onto a campus with the intent to harm.
It is interesting to note that the Times story had a coincidental comparison between gun deaths and other deaths. "Prescription drugs — primarily narcotic painkillers such as hydrocodone — cause or contribute to more deaths than heroin and cocaine combined," read the story. "As a result, drug fatalities have surpassed deaths from motor vehicle crashes, long the leading cause of accidental death in this country."
The interesting part is the choice to omit a reference to gun deaths and their lower fatality rate. With the gun control issue raging in Washington, it is a curious omission.
The best defense against a student attack on campus is to educate our students about the symptoms a shooter may exhibit and ask that they speak up when they see them, as they are usually the first to know.
This program is easy, effective and costs almost nothing.

Restoration projects like Dordt's tall-grass prairie help to preserve unique species of wildflowers and grasses; provide habitat for birds, butterflies, and other wildlife; and provide local residents with a chance to enjoy a diverse mix of wildflowers and grasses and learn to appreciate their beauty as part of God's creation.
The prairie's curator, Dordt Environmental Studies Professor Robert De Haan, explained the importance of this project saying, "God has been active in this world for a long time in some significant and surprising ways. He has shaped this landscape and the world around us. It didn't just happen to be. It was shaped by God and shaped in such a way that it could support a wide array of plants and animals that we call prairie. That's a lot of what this project is about."

Charles outlines health vision
The Prince of Wales has called for a health service that recognises "the core human elements of mind, body and spirit" as well as treating disease.
Charles said health professionals should develop a "healing empathy" to "listen and honour what is being said and not said by patients" so they can find their own way towards better health.
Writing in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, he set out a vision of healthcare that includes "the physical and social environment, education, agriculture and architecture".
The Prince emphasised that he did not want to confront accepted medical wisdom, but suggested reasons for encouraging a wider perspective on healthcare. He said symptoms "may often be a metaphor for underlying disease and unhappiness", and called for a scientific and therapeutic approach that "understands, values and uses patient perspective and belief rather than seeking to exclude them".
Charles drew on the work of several of his charities in Burnley, where inequalities have lowered life expectancy to one of the worst levels in the country, according to the article.
The Prince argued that improvements to the built and natural environment, the arts, education and business would lead to improvements "not only in health, but also in the overall cost-efficiency and effectiveness of local services".
He concluded by urging clinicians to emphasise "the value of caring, continuing relationships and for society to adopt a more holistic approach to health and disease that maximises the potential of the physical and social environment so that healing and better health can thrive".
Dr Kamran Abbasi, the journal's editor, said: "The Prince of Wales is a prominent and influential voice. When he sets out his vision for health, something he clearly thinks deeply about, speaking directly to medical professionals is the best way of allowing a constructive debate to flourish. This is an important article and The Prince's vision for health is engaging."
A Department of Health spokeswoman said: "The wider determinants of health - such as housing and environment - are very important to our wellbeing. That is why, from next April, we are putting local councils in charge of improving the public's health. They will have the power and the budget to tackle the causes of poor health in their areas. This should help to reduce health inequalities and mean that everyone has the same opportunity to lead a healthy life.
"Ensuring that patients get the best possible care is a priority. We have been clear that quality of care needs to be valued as highly as the quality of treatment. Nursing leaders recently launched a new drive to ensure values such as compassion and courage are at the heart of the NHS and the public health and care sectors."

2019 Best Public Middle Schools in Duval CountyAbout this List
James Weldon Johnson College Preparatory Middle School
#1 Best Public Middle Schools in Duval County
- Duval County Public Schools, FL
- 6-8
- 20
High School Senior: The teachers are excellent! Each one was very knowledgable of their subject. Reading and writing, science, math, and history were always taught very well, and I came away with great information. The teaching methods differed from teacher to teacher, but each one was able to help me learn. Scheduling was fairly straightforward and easy, just take the classes you have to take, and choose whatever electives you'd like. The workload was substantial, but nothing unbearable. Overall the academics were absolutely fantastic, preparing me for high school extremely well.

Julia Landon College Preparatory & Leadership Development School
#2 Best Public Middle Schools in Duval County
- Duval County Public Schools, FL
- 6-8
- 15
Middle School Student: Landon was a three year school that provided me with the necessary resources and preparation for high school. Every year there were two difficult classes, two extremely entertaining classes, three classes where we did not do much and one boring class. But there were many activities that kept students interested and more importantly things for students that they can put on applications or resumes. As an outgoing eighth grader I can say that I feel fully prepared for high school and I am ready to further my education.

Kirby-Smith Middle School
#3 Best Public Middle Schools in Duval County
- Duval County Public Schools, FL
- 6-8
- 3
Senior: It was a rather fulfilling experience. Along with the educational side of it, you gain even more friends when in an extracurricular activity. For me it was soccer and swimming. Those things and the teachers there were great. A lot of them really wanted to prepare you for highschool and see you succeed. Also, the end of the year rewards were nice to indulge into as well. My only issue then was having only 5 minutes to get to my next class. It was difficult because it's a big property; you could have a class in the main building and the next period have it on the other side of the school. Besides that I didn't have many complaints.

BASIS Independent McLean

Parent: Our son is currently in the 2nd grade. He has been at the school for two years, and it has been a wonderful experience. The enthusiasm of the teachers, who are truly experts in the subjects they teach, is infectious. They consistently set high standards for all students at every stage of their academic career. This is a school that prioritizes academics and the students themselves; it is targeted to students with intellectual curiosity and a strong work ethic. We are very happy here!

Parent: LaVilla is one of THE best middle performing arts school. Not only that, their academics are excellent. The teachers are absolutely wonderful. Most, if not all of them have been there for years because they love their school and students. My daughters have learned so much in their arts area until they will be ahead in college should they choose to pursue their arts areas in dance and vocal. I can't say enough about the academics. They are rated an A school since the doors opened in the district. My kids are challenged and more prepared academically.

Twin Lakes Academy Middle School
- Duval County Public Schools, FL
- 6-8
- 5
Parent: My daughter is heading into her second year at TLAM as a 7th grader. We could not be more impressed. Her transition last year into middle school could not have been better. The Leadership team is phenomenal. I think what I appreciate the most is how the faculty and staff strives to provide balance across academics, athletics, arts and activities to develop the whole student. There is something for every student at TLAM and considerable success to be had from college credits to city championships. They strive to prepare the student for high school, but the supportive environment in a uniquely diverse setting goes a long way to preparing them for life
- 1,176 Students
- 20:1 Student-Teacher Ratio
Mayport Middle School
- Duval County Public Schools, FL
- 6-8
- 5
Parent: Mayport is unique in so many ways. Not only do they have programs that don't exist anywhere else in the district, they have fantastic teachers (they are the only school in the district that has had 2 district teacher of the year finalists and 4 semifinalists in the last 6 years), but more importantly the majority of those teachers really care about the kids. Like every middle school these days, there is no way to avoid bullying and the occasional fight, but the school has a lot of safety measures in place and I think it makes a big difference. Anyone who says otherwise has unrealistic expectations.
- 812 Students

Duval Charter Scholars Academy

Niche User: They are a very clean school and they make their students love education. My little cousin go to Duval Charter and she is so excited to take the bus in the morning to go to school, ever morning she wakes up and ready to go, she participate in a lot of programs and she is always telling about how great her day was. As a big cousin I suggest Duval Charter to many people because they actually care about their students.

American Heritage School - Plantation Campus
- Private School
- Plantation, FL
- 507
Junior: The school is superior to every other school in the entire South Eastern United States. Heritage provides the most extensive extracurricular programs in Florida with nationally recognized programs such as their Math Competition, Model UN, Science Research, and Robotics programs plus even more. Furthermore, the sports programs for basketball, soccer, football, and more are also really good, hence, the multitude of state/local championships that the school has. As a student, it can be stressful since all of the students are clearly top-notch kids that are very smart; however, the benefits from going to the school far outweigh the stress and hard work that comes with it. Moreover, if you look at any other school in competitions such as Science Bowl, Quiz Bowl, MUN, Mu Alpha Theta, and more, Heritage consistently receives top placing, while many of the "acclaimed" schools such as Pine Crest and Ransom Everglades don't even participate or they cannot even compare to Heritage.

You know what's infuriating?
As terrible as this Sabres team has been this season, had they won just five games – (5!) – of their 12 game road losing streak, they'd be tied for 8th place right now. If I did the math right …aaaand I could be wrong on the number of games. 12 sounds about right. I'm not looking it up. I'm sticking to our Sabres hockey theme for this season and not paying mind to that annoying "effort" thing.
So now we've got that stat to lament over, along with the Lucic incident, as our season
defining destroying moments of the 2011-12 season. Add the injuries, lame duck GM/coaching, and the whole MSG/Time Warner fan blockade, and applaud yourself if you're watching the game tonight without any self-medication.
Not that Montreal has any reason to celebrate these days. Their plummet to the cellar started in the first 10 games, where they went an astonishing 3-5-2.
All that suckitude being said, here's your Kool Aid for tonite: this is a HUGE four point divisional game.
Here's a link to the site pictured above, tracking Gomez's histoire de triomphe, which at least reminds Sabres fans (and Brad Boyes, and Drew Stafford, and Ville Leino, and Derek Roy, and Nathan Gerbe, and Paul Gaustad, and Pat Kaleta, and Cody McCormick) that it can always be worse.
Tonight's winner receives another day of merciful reprieve from the game broadcast from MSG and Time Warner, so keep your dabbers at the ready. Tonight we play for our sanity.
Then again – who knows – this one could be a barn-burner. We'll see.
All jokes and the game aside, a solemn request: get well soon, Jochen. We're all rooting for you.

Bitcoin Mining Update: Power Usage Costs Across the United States
How much will these Bitcoin mining configurations cost you in power?
Earlier this week we looked at Bitcoin mining performance across a large range of GPUs but we had many requests for estimates on the cost of the power to drive them. At the time we were much more interested in the performance of these configurations but now that we have that information and we started to look at the potential profitability of doing something like this, look at the actual real-world cost of running a mining machine 24 hours a day, 7 days a week became much more important.
This led us to today's update where we will talk about the average cost of power, and thus the average cost of running our 16 different configurations, in 50 different locations across the United States. We got our data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration website where they provide average retail prices on electricity divided up by state and by region. For use today, we downloaded the latest XLS file (which has slightly more updated information than the website as of this writing) and started going to work with some simple math.
Here is how your state matches up:
The first graph shows the rates in alphabetical order by state, the second graph in order from the most expensive to the least. First thing we noticed: if you live in Hawaii, I hope you REALLY love the weather. And maybe it's time to look into that whole solar panel thing, huh? Because Hawaii was SO FAR out beyond our other data points, we are going to be leaving it out of our calculations and instead are going to ask residents and those curious to just basically double one of our groupings.
Keep reading to get the full rundown on how power costs will affect your mining operations, and why it may not make sense to mine AT ALL with NVIDIA graphics cards!
The second thing I noticed is that doing a graph for each of the 49 remaining stats (and the District of Columbia) would create a mess of graphs to present. Because of that we came up with the idea to group the states into four divisions and take the averages. You can see our break down here:
We took the 12 most expensive states, from Connecticut to Maryland, and found the average price between them. The next group of 12 was averaged, followed by 13 more and then 13 more. The averages we used for our calculations were:
- Group A: $0.15809 / kWh
- Group B: $0.11606 / kWh
- Group C: $0.09813 / kWh
- Group D: $0.08246 / kWh
* Hawaii residents, you should double all costs from Group A to get a good estimate from here on out.
If you are in a state from Group D (as I am) you are getting power for about half the cost of someone from most of the northeast or California. The question is though: does this affect the capacity for profit when Bitcoin mining?
Click to Enlarge
These results show each of our GPUs used in our initial performance evaluation of Bitcoin mining but instead in terms of cost per day to run them. Each grouping of states is presented on each card or configuration and the results are interesting. For reference you can see our power consumption results here in terms of performance per watt. The AMD A8-3850 APU uses just $0.305 / day to run its mining operation while "The Beast" takes $2.112 / day to do its work in the Group D states. If you happen to live in the more expensive area that power will cost you $0.584 / day and $4.048 /day (!!) respectively.
Just so you can see it easily and in graph form, here is the same data but scaled up to a month (30 days) and a year.
Click to Enlarge
Click to Enlarge
If you are running "The Beast" as your mining system you can expect a price for power as high as $1,477 each year which will obviously affect your profit margins to say the least. Even the Radeon HD 5830, one of the community's most popular cards, it can cost you anywhere from $169 / year up to $325 / year - as much as three times the cost of the GPU itself!
And just for a good reference point, here is the graph of the "potential" profit of each mining configuration from our previous performance centric article. For the Radeon HD 5830 you can subtract the cost of power of $169 or even $325 from the $538 total Bitcoin mined value for a total profit range of $369 all the way down to $213. A system like "The Beast" sees a similar drop in overall profitability going from $3,637 after paying for the hardware itself down to as little as $2,160 in those more expensive states.
Closing Thoughts
If you are in the market to build a system for Bitcoin mining you should obviously be aware of how the cost of power will affect your profits and loss. If you decided to Bitcoin mine on a GeForce GTX 590 you would actually lose $776 in your first year living in the northeast, California, etc. In fact, NO cards from the GeForce lineup would make you a profit in the first 365 days after purchasing the card. Even if you already own the card today, the power it costs to run the GTX GPUs might exceed the value of the Bitcoins you can mine over that same period.
Maybe this image should have Bitcoins being taken BY the GeForce instead...?
The AMD lineup is obviously a much better option in terms of power efficiency and cost efficiency, making them the hands-down winner in this battle. Even with that in mind, you should be sure you are aware of all the costs and potential pitfalls (lowering or rising exchange rates, higher power rates during the summer) before starting into the world of Bitcoin mining.
P.S. - If you live in Hawaii....just go to the beach.

I must be doing something wrong... I've been generating off and on for a couple months now, and I'm still at 0.00.
Maybe one day!
Yes the thing you're 'doing wrong' is trying to solo mine. Try joining a mining pool instead, so that you can earn the coins more gradually (instead of 50 at a time - or none).
Solar Power!
Very nicely balanced and well-researched articles! One thing it is important to note though: the difficulty of mining will rise exponentially with the number of bitcoins in circulation. This is what ensures that will only be 21 MBTC total in the economy when all is said and done. This isn't a concern for short-term, recreational mining. However, when you start throwing around time scales on the order of years, you really must take this into account.
The rate of BTC introduction is predictable, thanks to the way the math is balanced, but unfortunately I don't have those numbers off-hand. It is quite certain though that the profit margins on mining over long periods are going to be inflated. For example, the 5830 gives a profit of $214 at current exchange rates over the course of a year. However, with the increasing difficulty, we can assume that the payout is going to decrease a fair bit over that time, netting a profit closer to $180 or maybe even $150. Within a year or two, mining will no longer be profitable *at all*. There is some argument that the exchange rates will counter-balance this difficulty increase (due to deflation of BTC as the economy approaches peak), but it is unclear how accurate these predictions are.
My advice: bitcoin mining can make you a few bucks in the short term, but don't plan on using it as a major source of funding. You should probably only get into mining if you're actually interested in bitcoin, rather than just seeing it as a potential source of income.
A very good post, Daniel, thank you. I agree with you that the increasing difficult should be factored in but I found no reliable (re: from the source) information about how to do so.
But I do agree that looking at this project for a 1+ year standpoint might be more than a bit optimistic. :D
How about run the numbers using figures from 3 months ago? The price of cards didn't change that much, just difficulty and exchange rate. Discussing the profitability of mining using a single point in time, even if you mention its limitations, is simply misleading.
the difficulty of mining will rise exponentially with the number of bitcoins in circulation. This is what ensures that will only be 21 MBTC total in the economy when all is said and done
This is not correct. The difficulty is not linked to the amount of coins. Instead, it is automatically adjusted every 2016 block (~2 weeks) to keep the average time between blocks at 10 minutes. It can go up or down depending on the total hashing power of the network.
What ensures the 21 million BTC total is the fact that the reward is halved every 210,000 blocks (~ 4 years).
See also the How bitcoin works page at the bitcoin wiki.
Thanks for the correction. I did some reading last night and realized my statement was in err.
Even with that though, the point still stands because the reward is halved. It's not the difficulty of mining that rises exponentially, it is the difficulty of *profiting*.
You need to join a mining pool like bitclockers.com to get consistent payouts. Solo mining can take months to get your first payout
Everybody forget about volatility in Bitcoin difficulty which may jump higher so mining return value will be less. Also lower difficulty may lead to falling exchange rate of BTC to USD. Here Bitcoin profit calculators taking difficulty into account.
Yeah, but these are residential electricity rates.
Any serious large scale mining business would be stupid not to get electricity for discount commercial or even industrial rates.
How do those differ across the world?
It would also be good to note the power savings people are getting from Under-clocking memory on the video cards.
A member of my mining pool was measuring his total usage and got around 25-30% power savings from simply underclocking his gpu memory.
Under clocking the memory also helps with lower the GPU temperature. My default is 1200mhz, and I run it was 300mhz. Same hashrate with the lower speed.
For a business, the cost of power is usually considered a business expense. The cost of hardware is amortized over 3 years in the USA and results in a 30% depreciation allowance on taxes.
I will carefully document the power usage on my 3 mining machines and include the extra heat load on the AC as the cost of doing business.
By considering the after tax (Federal USA) factors the costs of mining bitcoins as a business are affected. This also means one needs to pay taxes on the income as represented by the bitcoins mined.
It wasn't mentioned in the post but are these averages taking into account the tiered structure of the energy systems in many if not most states?
Forgive me if this was addressed and I somehow missed it... :)
Dear Patrick,
You do not and should not pay taxes on generating bitcoins. This because the government does not regard this venture as value added, and your trading does not have to involve a participant in your own country + selling a bitcoin abroad is not regarded as export. Last point to make is that bicoins are not registered on name.
With other words you are just receiving money from an anonymous adress. Don't think about paying taxes, this is not necessary so avoid it. Let say you use a computer belonging to your firm for generating bitcoins, then it is recommended to transfer the bitcoins to you personal wallet and then transfering them to cash, since it could be regarded as income by the taxing agency.
Kind Regards
ummm... so what specs does "The Beast" Have?
You can check it out here: http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Cards/Bitcoin-Currency-and-GPU-Min...
Ryan, i was wondering what you thoughts were on this:
A8-3850 + 3x 5770 vs basic sempron + 2x 5870 accounting for power consumption as well.
I made a Bitcoin profit calculator for Excel. It estimated my maximum profit to be around $40 after 55 days running a 6970 flat out 24/7. Since I live in the UK, my electrical costs are high. It also assumes the difficulty level increases at a steadily defined rate (I used 13.33%, but feel free to change it to whatever you like). If you were looking to buy a rig specifically for mining, you had better get cheap (free) electricity, or hope the difficulty rate stays low and the value of Bitcoins stays high (good luck with that !). Download it and play around with it if you like. Enter your own values on the orange cells in the 'Variables' sheet. It can be found here : http://www.fileserve.com/file/ase7vCp
A w Polce kosztuje 0,61 PLN za KWH -
In Poland 0,2 $ per KWH :-)))))
so is anyone apart for big startups actually making money mining? I mkean enough money to live or or even be a decent supplement?
waste of time and money
bitcoin is a step in a logical path. In a sociëty that is increasingly complexer, where people tend to loose a grip on their lives, bitcoin fits to people with selfrespect and values. Even when there are coming other options over the years, for now bitcoin provides against the moneygrasp of the elite that robs the people. Bitcoin can just become a succes if people are going to get it. Numerous people will not make their own accounts. So an army of people is needed to make things in every household available, door to door all over the globe. So if we would start bitcoin clubs in all towns we could make this happen.
Bitcoin mining is now pointless...
you cant win anything...
you only lose your money...
It look pointless, yes, as it would be cheaper just to buy them.
But by mining them you help to increase difficulty which means it,s more difficult to obtain coins by mining... Imthinking if bitcoins will remain as popular as today this should lead to higher bitcoin prices?
I think we will see soon as some new more powerful ASIC mining machines should be out Q1-Q2 2014. I already read article that has some calculations showing that even with these new ASICS mining will not be profitable after just couple of weeks... So either price will go up or...
I really wish somebody would simply publish the amount of energy required (in kWh) to mine a single bitcoin instead of short-circuiting to the final result, "potential profit". Calculating the profit requires assumptions about BTC exchange rates, electricity costs and equipment costs that I'd rather not have someone else make for me. Stating the energy cost per day is completely meaningless without knowing how many BTC are mined per day (which varies from card to card so that the cost numbers of different cards cannot be compared!)
Or even better, what is the procedure for estimating the energy cost? How many "hashes" or whatever are in a bitcoin, and at what rate can each card compute them? How soon is it until the mining costs double?

Michael van Gerwen tops Premier League as Michael Smith loses perfect start
Van Gerwen was made to work hard for victory over Whitlock.
Defending champion Michael van Gerwen moved to the top of the Premier League table as Michael Smith suffered his first defeat of the competition in Leeds.
Van Gerwen recovered from losing the first two legs to beat Australian Simon Whitlock 7-4, with the highlight of the match a six-dart combination of 171 and a 110 finish from the Dutchman to level the scores at 3-3.
Whitlock then crucially missed two darts at double 20 to move 5-4 ahead and Van Gerwen took advantage to secure a hard-fought win to edge ahead of Smith on legs difference.
Smith looked on course to maintain his 100 per cent record when he led 5-3 against world champion Rob Cross, only for Cross to win the last four legs and finish in style with a 121 checkout on the bull.
Raymond van Barneveld also came back from 5-3 down to beat Gerwyn Price and leave the Welshman still looking for his first win, with finishes of 121, 101 and 89 giving Van Barneveld a 7-5 victory.
The most one-sided contest of the evening saw Mensur Suljovic thrash Peter Wright 7-1, while two-time world champion Gary Anderson drew 6-6 with Daryl Gurney.

In a letter to MSNBC's Olbermann, the ADL states their "deep dismay" with the "use of the Nazi 'Seig Heil' salute." Olbermann used the gesture while holding up a mask of O'Reilly during a recent Television Critics Tour.
Olbermann was quick to explain his actions to TMZ, saying "I did that in the persona of Bill O'Reilly because he's been defending the Nazis at Malmedy for the last year." (The so-called 'Malmedy Massacre' of American POWs by German troops occurred during the famous Battle of the Bulge in World War II.)
The ADL, however, claims any use of the Nazi gesture "Even in jest - only serves to trivialize the Holocaust, and denigrate the memory of the six million Jews and others who died as a result."
Since their heated feud began, O'Reilly has referred to Olbermann - although not by name - as a "notorious smear merchant." Olbermann has named O'Reilly his "Worst Person in the World" at least 15 times.
