Organizational rankings and top 10 prospects per team
July 20, 2011 Top 10 Prospects Detroit Red Wings
by Corey Pronman
Full list of NHL Organizational Rankings
The Detroit Red Wings Top 10 Prospects
1. Gustav Nyquist, Right Wing 2. Tomas Tatar, Left Wing 3. Calle Jarnkrok, Center 4. Brendan Smith, Defense 5. Adam Almqvist, Defense 6. Teemu Pulkkinen, Right Wing 7. Riley Sheahan, Center 8. Tomas Jurco, Right Wing* 9. Alexei Marchenko, Defense 10. Jan Mursak, Right Wing
Organizational Ranking: 1st
*Ranking Explanation: Jurco was ranked behind Marchenko in my Draft Rankings, but I bumped him up based on info and reports I have accumulated since the rankings went up.
System Overview: The Red Wings have become the model of organizational building through drafting and development. In the statistical realm, we have only in the past few years advanced to the point where we truly understand the overwhelming importance of the possession trait. The Red Wings have known this for a while, and push it through their entire organization, valuing puck skills, puck-movers and hockey sense above all else. Their forward-thinking approach on top of their ability to eye the true top talents in those areas has repeatedly let them be able to find top-tier prospects beyond the first round, and that trend continues to hold.
When doing my organizational rankings, it wasn't even a debate as to who was number one. Detroit has amassed a tremendous amount of riches through their pipelines and they have nearly an entire future core coming up that can be their top players for when their current generation of key pieces move on. They never make their methods a secret, yet they still continue to stand well above their peers.
1. Gustav Nyquist, Right Wing Date of birth: 09/01/1989 Age: 21 Height: 5'11'' Weight: 185 Shoots: Left Statistics: 36 GP, 18 G, 51 P (University of Maine-Hockey East) Acquired: Fourth round, 121st overall in 2008 by Detroit
The Good: Gustav Nyquist is a dynamic playmaking winger who on a nightly basis found ways to get the crowd on their feetit felt like a scoring chance was created every time he stepped on the ice. He's a plus thinker who sees the game at a very high level and is one of the better passers in the prospect world. He has top-end vision and can make unique distributions at a casual pace and at times looks like he has eyes in the back of his head. One NHL source said of Nyquist, "His sense and skills are extremely good; he just simply has the look of a different player." Nyquist anticipates the play off the puck extremely well, as he is able to find open holes in the defensive coverage, get in passing lanes to rack up takeaways at a notable rate, and just find ways to be around the play. From a positional play standpoint, his two-way game is very refined and as a winger is very effective defensively. Nyquist is a solid skater with a smooth stride and can get to an above-average speed but isn't a true blazer. He will go to the net, and shows no hesitation to forecheck hard.
The Bad: He has a slight frame that doesn't have much muscle on it, and has the look of a fringe physical player. He was a marked man this past season, and had a little trouble with all the physical treatment teams were giving him. At times, Nyquist can be a victim of trying to do too much with the puck and going for the big play.
Projection: An average first line winger who can safely project as a below-average first to above-average second line winger.
2. Tomas Tatar, Left Wing Date of birth: 12/01/1990 Age: 20 Height: 5'10'' Weight: 186 Shoots: Left Statistics: 70 GP, 24 G, 57 P (Grand Rapids-AHL) Acquired: Second round, 60th overall in 2009 by Detroit
The Good: I have yet to see a game this year where Tomas Tatar did not impress or hear one negative review of him from a scout. Tatar is a plus thinker with top-end offensive instincts and he just processes the play in a different way. He will execute plays that most players don't even attempt, shows great patience and poise offensively and just finds ways to be around the puck. His puck skills are above-average to plus and while he's not a huge dangler, he is very skilled and shows great coordination with the puck. He has an above-average shot and is able to score from beyond the blue paint. Tatar is a very hard worker who shows good dedication on and off the ice. He grinds it out every shift and is a pain to play against. He also has bulked up quite a bit and his off-ice work has shown dividends. Tatar's defensive game has also shown a notable amount of progression.
The Bad: Tatar shows great acceleration in his first few steps, but his top speed could use some improvement. His physical game may be slightly below-average just due to his size. There's not a lot that should hold him back from being a heck of a player, although his counting numbers this year were slightly underwhelming for the scouting reports I was getting on him.
3. Calle Jarnkrok, Center Date of birth: 09/25/1991 Age: 19 Height: 5'11'' Weight: 165 Shoots: Right Statistics: 49 GP, 11 G, 27 P, 16:45 ATOI (Brynas-SEL) Acquired: Second round, 51st overall in 2010 by Detroit
The Good: Calle Jarnkrok is a very skilled player with plus puck skills and vision that allow him to be a top-end puck carrier and playmaker. He has the ability to control the play with his poise and instincts while also showing the slick hands to evade checkers. Jarnkrok is a great distributor who can make difficult feeds with ease and is the kind of player you trust to make things happen when he gets open ice. His hockey sense carries over to the defensive zone where he shows a fine defensive game in terms of coverage and positional play. Jarnkrok is a solid skater who moves around pretty fluidly and is quite an agile skater. He has a decent shot and is able to threaten with his shot if the defense respects his playmaking too much. He works hard and will go to the physical areas. He's quite competitive, and NHL sources praise his shift to shift work ethic.
The Bad: He's a slight player with a toothpick frame and is far away from being physically ready for the pro game.
Projection: An average first line center to an above-average second line center.
4. Brendan Smith, Defense Date of birth: 08/02/1989 Age: 21 Height: 6'2'' Weight: 195 Shoots: Left Statistics: 63 GP, 12 G, 32 P (Grand Rapids-AHL) Acquired: First round, 27th overall in 2007 by Detroit
The Good: Smith is a talented defenseman who performed quite well in his first professional season. He's an above-average to plus puck handler who carries the puck very well while bringing it up, he's technically sound when holding the puck and has the ability to consistently perform above-average dekes and distributions. Smith is a plus skater who is very fluid and smooth in his movements, and has the extra gear to explode up the ice. He doesn't shy from using his skating tool, and is constantly on the move all around the ice. Smith has a fine shot as well and can be a trigger man from the point. He shows a decent physical aspect to his game and does fine when it comes to battling his assignments.
The Bad: Smith can still be too much of a gambler at times offensively and needs to be more selective with his attacks. Defensively he has come a ways, but could still use some improvement in that department.
Projection: A below-average first pairing to above-average second pairing defender who easily projects into a top four.
5. Adam Almqvist, Defense Date of birth: 02/27/1991 Age: 20 Height: 5'11'' Weight: 174 Shoots: Left Statistics: 52 GP, 0 G, 16 P, 19:48 ATOI (HV71-SEL) Acquired: Seventh round, 210th overall in 2009 by Detroit
The Good: The second-to-last pick in the 2009 draft has flourished the last few seasons and has shown the indications of a great puck-moving defender. Almqvist's hockey sense is plus and he sees the ice very well. He's calm and effective with his distributions coming out of the zone and in how he controls the puck on the power play. Almqvist is an above-average passer who can push it up a distance and has the impressive technique with the puck that allows him to move it crisply and quickly. He's a refined defensive player who plays a fine positional game, uses his stick well and has the makings of a player who should play significant two-way minutes when he physically develops.
The Bad: Almqvist has a slight frame and is pretty weak physically. He can get overmatched during physical area battles, and even when he tries to close gaps on the rush he has to stick-check to get the puck off the attacker. It's not for a lack of effort in terms of his physical game, just a lack of strength. He's a below-average skater especially for his size due to a lack of strength in his lower body.
Projection: At best, an above-average second pairing defenseman who easily projects to be a decent top four defender.
6. Teemu Pulkkinen, Right Wing Date of birth: 01/02/1992 Age: 19 Height: 5'11'' Weight: 183 Shoots: Right Statistics: 55 GP, 18 G, 54 P (Jokerit-SM-Liiga) Acquired: Fourth round, 111th overall in 2010 by Detroit
The Good: Pulkkinen is a very skilled winger who may be one of the most dangerous power play options in the prospect world. He has an elite level shot and his blasts could scare the life out of anyone who tries to block it. Pulkkinen is also blessed with plus puck skills and vision which makes him a threat when he gets the puck on his stick. He can make quick, subtle moves to evade pursuit and can also show a top-level deke if needed. He's a great distributor who can make very impressive passes and his ability to see the ice is as top-level as they come. Pulkkinen has also shown a conscious effort this season to start engaging more in the corners. When his team sets up in the offensive zone or on the power play, he's as good as it gets.
The Bad: Pulkkinen is a puny player who looks very small on the ice and can be easily rubbed off pucks. His straight line speed is ok, but the skating as a whole is below-average and poor for a sub-6'0" forward and he has a bit of a knock kneed stride. His defensive game is very poor as well.
Projection: An above-average scoring second line forward ceiling who needs coaching protection and if he doesn't crack a top six, he likely doesn't play in the league.
7. Riley Sheahan, Center Date of birth: 12/07/1991 Age: 19 Height: 6'2'' Weight: 205 Shoots: Left Statistics: 40 GP, 5 G, 22 P (Notre Dame-CCHA) Acquired: First round, 21st overall in 2010 by Detroit
The Good: Sheahan is an above-average to plus passer who thinks the game quite well and sees the ice at a high level. He ran the Notre Dame power play from the point and showed the offensive instincts to be a great distributor as he can spot the smallest of gaps in the defensive coverage and consistently makes above-average passes seem effortless. His decision-making is quick and usually effective. Sheahan's defensive game is quite advanced and he plays a very effective two-way game in terms of his positional play, reads and also his physical play. He's possibly near pro strength level before his 20th birthday and is able to handle himself along the walls quite well although he's not an overly physical player. Sheahan also has a decent shot, but doesn't use it much as he is a pass-first type of player.
The Bad: Sheahan is a below-average skater who looks pretty fluid but could stand to gain an extra step speed-wise. While he played on a stacked team and was relegated to second line duties, he has yet to produce at a level his talent indicates he should.
Projection: An average second line center who safely projects as an above-average third line center.
8. Tomas Jurco, Right Wing Date of birth: 12/28/1992 Age: 18 Height: 6'2'' Weight: 187 Shoots: Left Statistics: 60 GP, 31 G, 56 P (Saint John-QMJHL) Acquired: Second round, 35th overall in 2011 by Detroit
The Good: Tomas Jurco is a very skilled puck-handler with well above-average puck skills. He is a very coordinated player who shows refined technique and impressive hand-eye coordination. Jurco is a very hard player to check one-on-one as aside from the flash he shows with the puck, he shields it well and once the defender commits one way to try and go after the puck, he has the agility to slide out and into open ice and he has the balance to handle physical contact. His speed is average but there are times when it seems below that level. There doesn't seem to be anything mechanically wrong with his stride and because of how well he turns and eludes checkers it doesn't seem to be a liability for him. Jurco has the ability to be an above-average goal scorer in regards to his shot and finishing ability, but he needs to find ways to get more opportunities in the high percentage areas.
The Bad: His effort level wavers at times as he shows good effort on the forecheck and when he has the puck, but outside of the offensive blue line he looks disinterested. His defensive hockey sense and drive need to take a few steps forward before his prospect stock can get to the next level.
Projection: Jurco has the raw tools to be an above-average second line winger, but likely projects as an average to below-average second line winger with coaching protection.
9. Alexei Marchenko, Defense Date of birth: 01/02/1991 Age: 19 Height: 6'2'' Weight: 184 Shoots: Right Statistics: 23 GP, 0 G, 2 P, 13:29 ATOI (CSKA-KHL) Acquired: Seventh round, 205th overall in 2011 by Detroit
The Good: Alexei Marchenko has flown under the radar with limited International play and has gone undrafted once, but this Russian rearguard really shone this year, and by late season he was playing top four minutes in the KHL right after his 19th birthdate. One Russian scout told me on Marchenko, "He's the best defenseman this country has produced since Dmitri Kulikov." His puck skills are pro-level, and look a grade beyond that at times. Even in the KHL as a young defenseman he was frequently the player leaned on to bring the puck out of the zone, at times showing moments of flash when doing so, and he was a primary distributor on the power play. He projects as an average physical player, and already has a decent frame but has room to fill out as well. Marchenko plays fine in front of the net and in the corners, and should he choose to cross the pond, he will transition fine. His hockey sense is an above-average tool, and while there are times he tried to go outside his means offensively with the puck, his advanced play in one of the world's best leagues, especially seeing a solid defensive game from Marchenko, is reason to like how he processes the game. His stick-work is good, and his lane and man coverage on the penalty kill is impressive.
The Bad: His skating bounces between fringe-average and a pro average tool, but he is mobile enough to stay with his checks on the rush, shows good agility, and does fine when he's going straight. I have seen some mild concerns from an intangibles perspective, but it's nitpicking more so than a legit concern with Marchenko's skill set. He doesn't have many true weaknesses, but doesn't stand out in any one area to a dynamic degree.
Projection: An average second pairing defenseman, with a safe projection as a below-average second to above-average third pairing defender.
10. Jan Mursak, Right Wing Date of birth: 01/20/1988 Age: 23 Height: 5'11'' Weight: 192 Shoots: Right Statistics: 79 GP, 24 G, 42 P (Grand Rapids-AHL) Acquired: Sixth round, 182nd overall in 2006 by Detroit
The Good: Mursak is an above-average skater who hits a desirable top speed and can get up to that top speed rather quickly. He works rather hard, and covers a lot of ice on a shift to shift basis. Mursak protects the puck well and has some skills with the puck that allow him to a decent holder and distributor of the puck. His frame has filled out rather well and despite being a sub-6'0" forward, I'd say his physical game is at pro-average as he can hold his own rather well in physical battles and goes to the net frequently. His shot is decent and he has the ability to be an average goal-scorer. Mursak's defensive game is quite good and he shows the ability to be a good two-way player who kills penalties well.
The Bad: Mursak doesn't have an above-average offensive projection, as his skills and instincts are more of the average variety, albeit not poor either. He could use just a tad more strength to really help his case to push for a full-time job. His development is more or less done, and he is what he is.
Projection: An average third line winger who safely projects into a bottom-six.
The Sleeper: 2011 pick Ryan Sproul is the definition of a sleeper. The toolsy defenseman is big guy who skates well, has solid offensive skills and a good shot, but looked so raw in his first OHL season. From January on, he started to look more acclimated was an elite offensive force in the league.
Extra Notes:
Defenseman Max Nicastro is a defenseman with a fine frame, who skates at a decent level and has some offensive upside, but his hockey sense and decision making are poor.
Andrej Nestrasil would make a top ten list for many systems, but not this one. He's a big forward with good puck skills, who plays a smart two-way game, but his heavy feet limit him to a lower upside.
Louis Marc-Aubry is a fine two-way forward who can use his big frame to protect pucks well. He has improved his skating, but his offensive skills aren't much to write home about. He's still growing, but projects to fill out at around 210 pounds.
I haven't heard positive reports on forward Cory Emmerton, with one scout saying he's likely a career AHLer.
My reports on Ryan Sproul and Alan Quine can be found here, and on Xaiver Ouellet can be found here.

is ok to open fifo with one FD and share it with multiple threads? or is it better to have multiple fds opened for the same fifo and share these fds with the threads? BTW, I'll be doing write and read.

is ok to open fifo with one FD and share it with multiple threads? or is it better to have multiple fds opened for the same fifo and share these fds with the threads? BTW, I'll be doing write and read. The environment is linux, C, pthreads |
Depends on what exactly you are going to do. Usually if you stick to the syscall-level interface ( Remember, that when there are multiple readers on fifo, random one of them will get the data and the switch from one reader to another may happen after any byte (because it depends on write granularity and internal implementation of the buffer in kernel), so you either need one fifo for each intended recipient or use single-byte messages. | |||||||||||||
Edit: From the OpenGroup Posix docs 3.289 Process An address space with one or more threads executing within that address space, and the required system resources for those threads. Note: Many of the system resources defined by POSIX.1-2008 are shared among all of the threads within a process. These include the process ID, the parent process ID, process group ID, session membership, real, effective, and saved set-user-ID, real, effective, and saved set-group-ID, supplementary group IDs, current working directory, root directory, file mode creation mask, and file descriptors.
Revised AnswerThere are two cases to consider: In the first case, all of the threads will have the same file descriptor for the FIFO because that's how the OS manages that for you. In the second case, if you share the file descriptor between the various I'm pretty certain you're in the first case, not the second. As Jan pointed out the All else being equal, since the OS manages a lot of this for you I'd go with the multiple descriptors approach, even though it will likely result in the same file descriptor value being used. My primary reasoning is that it is less code you have to write and maintain. You can have a single routine that's called by each thread to get the descriptor. An additional benefit is that it sets you up well in case you need to fork to new processes instead of spawning child threads. | |||||||||||||||||||||

If it is not clear from the schematic, the jack at the left is for a center-tapped transformer, and there are multiple SIL headers for output power.
I've built it on a protoboard and it seems to work, but I had a few questions I was hoping someone might be able to answer:
1) Do I really need the protection diodes D1/D2/D3/D4? As far as I can tell this comes from an old app note from the 1970's to protect the regulators, but modern 78xx/79xx regulators are pretty indestructible and I don't see these in many other designs, so can those be removed?
2) Can I tie AGND and DGND together? It seems like I should, but I didn't see that in the MB-808 PSU so I thought I should double-check.
3) What's the purpose of D5? It was on the MB-808 but I wasn't sure of its purpose. I'm guessing it helps prevent some sort of current flow between the 5V and +/-12V sections?
Thanks for any insights!
Oh and BTW I know I can probably buy something off-the-shelf that would work for me, but I wanted to make my own circuit board in Eagle and get it made (at BatchPCB). It's been fun so far. Once the design is proven, I can post the .sch and .brd files. I could probably be talked into a mini-bulk order for PCBs if enough people are interested.

The legendary country singer re-cut the song with Colt Ford and created a song that truly blends the two singer's unique styles. It is not a carbon copy of the original. Ford adds his funky, spoken word styling to two new verses that ride over a hardcore beat. Look for the song on the soundtrack to 'Super Zeroes.' It's a superhero movie for the country boy, and it available in stores and on iTunes now.

Fancy News is a jQuery plugin that lets you create an outstanding news slider. It´s highly customizable and very easy to use. You can add umlimited of news with thumbnails. If the post is longer than the height of the main area, a cool scrollbar will be added automatically. You can also load your own RSS feed.
2.0.1 – 4.8.2013- Updated scrollbar plugin, so its working with jquery 1.9 or higher
- Better semantic HTML
- Responsive
- Infinite Loop
- Now it also supports vertical scrolling
- Links on preview elements for self-written articles
- Callback function that will be called when the list is created
- Stop auto-scrolling when switching to another window/tab
- Now working for IE9, when you have an older version than 1.3, just download the latest jquery. It was a jQuery bug that it didnt work in IE9.
- Set the target window by yourself.
1.2 – 5.March 2011
- Now you need no more php for loading the RSS feed, because some users had problems with loading the RSS feed, I find a better solution for it, which will load your feed definitly as long as it´s really a RSS feed.
- Spy Effect, which lets your posts automatically scroll. You can set the time for it in the options.
- More comments in the code, which explain each style sheet in the CSS and improved documentation.
1.1 – 13.February 2011
- Load an external or internal RSS feed. Could be also a feedburner link. So you can use it with wordpress.
- Multiple usage in one site
Using SimplePie Library to display images from Feeds
Because I got some much questions how to display images from a RSS feed, I would like to point you to the SimplePie library. With help of this library you can create the HTML for Fancy News. So instead of adding the Feed Link in the option of the plugin, you add it to a SimplePie Reference.It also enables you to use ATOM feeds and you can merge feeds from different site to one HTML output.
To get started with it, please check out this site:

Today I retired journal #32. It is always good to look back on the thoughts and reflections. The quotes and jots. The drawings and scribbles. So here are a few random notes from the dogeared pages of #32.
- A love letter from a stranger means nothing to us…but even a tiny note from my wife means the world…most of our not liking scripture is just not understanding or being in relationship with the one from who the letters were written
- Discipleship: action needs to be important, not just a Bible study…Application is a must throughout, but doctrine has to be important or at least clarifying of the essentials…contracts is necessary; this is a commitment you will only get what you put in…
-[vision casting] ENVISION a new culture SHARE vision with everyone GET ALIGNMENT with leadership MODEL the culture you want to create FORM URGENCY sense
- "Boredom is the natural byproduct of redundancy…and church ministry is redundant by nature." … create new and fresh experiences with God instead of repeating the same stories over and over and over again..we tell the same old stories about God because we are having no new experiences with him…the pastor needs to teach and lead in a way that creates new opportunities and new experiences for the church family…but my teaching and leadership cannot be new, fresh, and alive if my personal experience of God is not new, fresh, and alive
- Pull away…look within…look around…Fill up…change it up
- "Greed is a sign of slavery; you have to hold on to something because you NEED it"
- "Generosity is a sign of freedom." – Cody Cannon
- "People who don't know Christ do not get to OUT-SERVE Christians." -Cody Cannon

I have to record for posterity that the PhD is progressing!
This week I moved the draft along quite a bit. Literature Review and Methodology chapters are now in 2nd draft and nearing completion. The case studies and review chapter are about 70% done so it is getting close to wrapping things up.
Synergistic Design, after getting buried in sub-cultures and technology implementation for a while, is re-emerging as the primary topic. This PhD is designed to build theory and is therefore mainly inductive. Hence the sheer process of writing and reflecting can lead to new insights and changes the course and direction. So I am getting closer to identifying and perhaps quantifying something I have been developing intuitively for many years. This is how scholarship is meant to work I suspect!

This truck (owner) lives out by me. I haven't seen the truck out for years. Good to see it again.
Hi Lance, what motor does he have ? Will you be going to the western Reg in Oxnard?
Looks like a 292 GM straight 6 to me but cant see enough of it,
RogerRetired Tech. -
Hi Victor
It has a Ford 6 cyl. engine. The ribbed aluminum valve cover has HUDSON on top. It has A/C and P/B mounted on the firewall.
I first saw the PU in 1985 setting on the grass of a park while cruising around with my brother-in-law. We took some pictures. It had a different engine in it then. I think it was a V8 Ford. Two years ago I was looking through the Roster for PU owners and contacted someone and he invited me to come over to see his truck. We had a good visit and there was something about the truck that looked familar. When I got home I opened up my photo album and there it was on the front page, same license plate. His name is Ron Knowles. We got together again and I picked up some parts he was ready to let go. I took photos of it and showed Ron the snap shots I had taken 24 years earlier of his PU at the park. Small world.
This is part of email I received from Ron. "I bought it out of junk yard in 1965. It had been stripped and was about to be crushed. Since it had no motor, trans, or glass, putting it on road again was a challenge. We drove it, with a camper, to Olympics in Mexico City in 1968."
It is a very beautiful well done PU And Ron is a very gracious person.
Have a good day
Lee O'Dell -
Hey Lee, you know more on his truck than me. I have to agree on the Ford 6 cyd. The story was that Ron's Dad had it and took the family on vacations in it. I found out about the truck when I was working a car show for the local high school aniversary celibration. I had just picked mine up and saw that there was a '46 on the list. Ron and my wife went to school together and our kids did too. Small world type of thing.
Ron used to be active in local Club events. He was parts manager at a Pasadena Ford/Mercury dealership...must be retired now...:cheer:firstname.lastname@example.com (drop the HET)

Banks sock it to customers as regulations take effect | News
Title (Max 100 Characters)
By Rachel Bennett
(RNN) - Thanks to new bank regulations that take effect Oct. 1, many checking account customers can expect to see their fees rise simply for having an account.
The new regulations limit how much money banks can charge businesses for accepting debit card purchases. Each swipe of a debit card by a cardholder costs businesses a percentage of the sale.
Under the new regulations, banks are limited to a $.21 charge on debit card swipes. It's a more than 50 percent decrease from the previous average of $.44 per use.
The new regulations are expected to cost banks a lot of money. Keivan Deravi, professor of economics at Auburn University Montgomery, said banks will look to their customers to make up the difference.
"It really cuts into a lot of revenues that the big banks were accustomed to receiving," Deravi said.
The regulations are a watered-down version of the Durbin Amendment, which was added on to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. It was originally slated to take effect in July, but the Federal Reserve pushed it back to October after issuing its final ruling.
Deravi said bank account holders can look forward to additional fees and penalties.
"This has been a major source of revenue, and the loss of it has to be replaced," Deravi said.
Bank of America spokeswoman Betty Riess said the bank will lose an estimated $2 billion annually.
Wells Fargo, another large bank, is also predicting a major loss of revenue.
"We are estimating it's going to be an impact of $250 million a quarter," Lisa Westermann with Wells Fargo said.
To combat this, she said the bank is doing away with their debit rewards, but said account holders can keep them and combine them with credit card rewards.
At the moment, fees seem to be the go-to solution for many banks looking to make up for the loss.
"We are test-piloting a monthly debit card fee, which would be $3 a month for people who use their debit cards to make payments and purchases," Westermann said.
Bank of America will charge debit-card users $5 per month beginning in October.
Deravi said consumers can look for a temporary solution in smaller banks and credit unions because they are exempt from the new regulations, but he expects those institutions will follow the larger banks sooner rather than later.
And he said it's possible banks may stop offering debit cards entirely.
"It is going to limit, to some extent, whether the banks will offer a debit card or not," Deravi said.
What's more, Deravi said that the regulations will likely have little effect other than forcing banks into innovating new payment methods that bypass them, such as using your smartphone for purchases.
Westermann said that Wells Fargo has no plans to get rid of debit cards, but she did say they had just finished testing a pay-by-phone program in the San Francisco area.
"You always have your phone in your hand," she said. "Instead of trying to dig in your purse, just swipe your phone."
New payment methods are a far cry from the intended purpose of the Durbin Amendment, which was to "ensure that the fees that small businesses and other entities are charged for accepting debit cards are reasonable and proportional to the costs incurred."
"I don't think any of these regulations imposed on any of these financial instruments will be effective," Deravi said. "It just moves the burden from one group to another group."
Instead, he believes it's just a move by the government to prove that they still have control.
"This is a very small and insignificant of a reaction to the banking deregulations of the '80s and '90s," he said, adding that it would do nothing to help the economy.
"Our economic problem is much more serious than this, much more serious."

Danby Dual Zone Beverage Center
Very satisfied so far. Very quite unit
Unit placed in our Pantry, off kitchen area. Use for wine storage as well as soft drink beverages. Perfect unit for our area.
April 5, 2010
Love it.
I compared this and the vinotemp beverage center and ended up going with the danby center and I am so happy I did. It came within a week of ordering and looks great. I love the blue light that comes on when you open a door. It is nice and quiet and has worked perfectly for us so far. It looks great and I can't wait to finish my kitchen remodel and have it in there.

Better than our last one
We had another brand that the compressor went dead after just 13 months, we decided to give this Danby unit a try and get and extended warranty for it as these are too expensive to replace every year. This one got some pretty good reviews. We're happy with the unit, the noise level is about the same or maybe slightly quieter than our last unit, we have it built in so i'm sure that helps with the noise as well. As everyone has said the temp fluctuates about 3 or 4 degrees and the coldest it gets is probably around 39, we like our drinks ice cold so they are cold but not quiet ice cold, but this unit is great for having some extras on hand for guests and of course for having some chilled wine on hand as well. Overall we're happy with the purchase.
August 26, 2013
Best value for the money
I researched the bejesus out of dual zone coolers before selecting the Danby. No complaints at all after nearly one year of use. Beer and soft drinks are more than cold enough and wine is aptly cellared. Thermostat is accurate and consistent. It does make a little noise but built-in and away from quiet areas it's not an issue. So far so great, we'll see how long it holds up.

Your smile is often the first thing people notice when they look at you. It's the facial expression that most engages others. With the help of the teeth - which provide structural support for the face muscles - your mouth also forms your frown and lots of other expressions that show on your face.
The mouth also plays a key role in the digestive system , but it does much more than get digestion started. The mouth - especially the teeth, lips, and tongue - is essential for speech. The tongue, which allows us to taste, also enables us to form words when we speak. The lips that line the outside of the mouth both help hold food in while we chew and pronounce words when we talk.
With the lips and tongue, teeth help form words by controlling air flow out of the mouth. The tongue strikes the teeth as certain sounds are made.
The hardest substances in the body, the teeth are also necessary for chewing (or mastication) - the process by which we tear, cut, and grind food in preparation for swallowing. Chewing allows enzymes and lubricants released in the mouth to further digest food.
Here's how each aspect of the mouth and teeth plays an important role in our daily lives.
The entrance to the digestive tract, the mouth is lined with mucous membranes. The membrane-covered roof of the mouth is called the palate. The front part consists of a bony portion called the hard palate, with a fleshy rear part called the soft palate. The hard palate divides the mouth and the nasal passages above. The soft palate forms a curtain between the mouth and the throat, or pharynx, to the rear. The soft palate contains the uvula, the dangling flesh at the back of the mouth. The tonsils are located on either side of the uvula and look like twin pillars holding up the opening to the pharynx.
A bundle of muscles extends from the floor of the mouth to form the tongue. The upper surface of the tongue is covered with tiny bumps called papillae. These contain tiny pores that are our taste buds. Four kinds of taste buds are grouped together on certain areas of the tongue - those that sense sweet, salty, sour, and bitter tastes. Three pairs of salivary glands secrete saliva, which contains a digestive enzyme called amylase that starts the breakdown of carbohydrates even before food enters the stomach.
The lips are covered with skin on the outside and with slippery mucous membranes on the inside of the mouth. The major lip muscle, called the orbicularis oris, allows for the lips' mobility. The reddish tint of the lips comes from underlying blood vessels. The inside portion of both lips is connected to the gums.
There are several types of teeth. Incisors are the squarish, sharp-edged teeth in the front of the mouth. There are four on the bottom and four on the top. On either side of the incisors are the sharp canines. The upper canines are sometimes called eyeteeth. Behind the canines are the premolars, or bicuspids. There are two sets, or four premolars, in each jaw.
The molars, situated behind the premolars, have points and grooves. There are 12 molars - three sets in each jaw called the first, second, and third molars. The third molars are the wisdom teeth, thought by some to have evolved thousands of years ago when human diets consisted of mostly raw foods that required extra chewing power. But because they can crowd out the other teeth, sometimes a dentist will need to remove them.
Human teeth are made up of four different types of tissue: pulp, dentin, enamel, and cementum. The pulp is the innermost portion of the tooth and consists of connective tissue, nerves, and blood vessels, which nourish the tooth. The pulp has two parts - the pulp chamber, which lies in the crown, and the root canal, which is in the root of the tooth. Blood vessels and nerves enter the root through a small hole in its tip and extend through the canal into the pulp chamber.
Dentin surrounds the pulp. A hard yellow substance consisting mostly of mineral salts and water, it makes up most of the tooth and is as hard as bone. It's the dentin that gives teeth their yellowish tint. Enamel, the hardest tissue in the body, covers the dentin and forms the outermost layer of the crown. It enables the tooth to withstand the pressure of chewing and protects it from harmful bacteria and changes in temperature from hot and cold foods. Both the dentin and pulp extend into the root. A bony layer of cementum covers the outside of the root, under the gum line, and holds the tooth in place within the jawbone. Cementum is also as hard as bone.
Humans are diphyodont, meaning that they develop two sets of teeth. The first set of 20 deciduous teeth are also called the milk, primary, temporary, falling-off, or baby teeth. They begin to develop before birth and begin to fall out when a child is around 6 years old. They're replaced by a set of 32 permanent teeth, which are also called secondary or adult teeth.
Around the 8th week after conception, oval-shaped tooth buds consisting of cells form in the embryo. These buds begin to harden about the 16th week. Although teeth aren't visible at birth, both the primary and permanent teeth are forming below the gums. The crown, or the hard enamel-covered part that's visible in the mouth, develops first. When the crown is fully grown, the root begins to develop.
Between the ages of 6 months and 1 year, the deciduous teeth begin to push through the gums. This process is called eruption or teething . At this point, the crown is complete and the root is almost fully formed. By the time a child is 3 years old, he or she has a set of 20 deciduous teeth, 10 in the lower and 10 in the upper jaw. Each jaw has four incisors, two canines, and four molars. The molars' purpose is to grind food, and the incisors and canine teeth are used to bite into and tear food.
The primary teeth help the permanent teeth erupt in their normal positions; most of the permanent teeth form close to the roots of the primary teeth. When a primary tooth is preparing to fall out, its root begins to dissolve. This root has completely dissolved by the time the permanent tooth below it is ready to erupt.
Kids start to lose their primary teeth, or baby teeth, at about 6 years old. This begins a phase of permanent tooth development that lasts over the next 15 years, as the jaw steadily grows into its adult form. From ages 6 to 9, the incisors and first molars start to come in. Between ages 10 and 12, the first and second premolars, as well as the canines, erupt. From 12 to 13, the second molars come in. The wisdom teeth (third molars) erupt between the ages of 17 and 21.
Sometimes there isn't room in a person's mouth for all the permanent teeth. If this happens, the wisdom teeth may not come through at all. Overcrowding of the teeth is one of the reasons kids get braces.
The first step of digestion involves the mouth and teeth. Food enters the mouth and is immediately broken down into smaller pieces by our teeth. Each type of tooth serves a different function in the chewing process. Incisors cut foods when you bite into them. The sharper and longer canines tear food. The premolars, which are flatter than the canines, grind and mash food. Molars, with their points and grooves, are responsible for the most vigorous chewing. All the while, the tongue helps to push the food up against our teeth.
During chewing salivary glands in the walls and floor of the mouth secrete saliva, which moistens the food and helps break it down even more. Saliva makes it easier to chew and swallow foods (especially dry foods), and it contains enzymes that aid in the digestion of carbohydrates.
Once food has been converted into a soft, moist mass, it's pushed into the throat (or pharynx) at the back of the mouth and is swallowed. When we swallow, the soft palate closes off the nasal passages from the throat to prevent food from entering the nose.
Proper dental care - including a good diet, frequent cleaning of the teeth after eating, and regular dental checkups - is essential to maintaining healthy teeth and avoiding tooth decay and gum disease.
Common mouth and dental diseases and conditions - some of which can be prevented, some of which cannot - are :

Behind The Gnostic Myths |
Mythology is the secret language of the Spirit, as well as the collective dream of humanity. It is a universe of archetypes, symbols and dreams that not only point towards the Transcendental but can ignite the liberation of both mind and soul. The ancients understood the power of Mythology, and modern man is finally beginning to appreciate its sublime gifts. Yet few truly understand how to utilize Myth as a tool to unlock the inner realms of the psyche and break open the layers of mundane reality. The Gnostics were one of the greatest masters of Mythology in all of history. They re-interpreted oppressive theologies to mine for virtuous truths, expressed their artistic vision of the cosmos, and created fields of metaphor to decipher the human condition. More importantly perhaps, The Gnostics actually left coded rituals, meditations and exercises in their Myths that could induce altered states of consciousness and release an individual's divine potential. Not only do we delve into Gnostic and comparative mythology in its latest scholarship, we present these hidden tools left behind for those seeking the path of holy heresy. Their first clue resides in a passage from the Gospel of Philip that states, 'Truth did not come into the world naked, it came in types and images...one must enter through the image into The Truth.' We learn how to enter the image into The Truth.
