Interview with Maxwell Britten of Maison Premiere
With its rigorous cocktail program, romantic environs, and dapper staff, Outstanding Bar Award nominee Maison Premiere is an oasis of Old World style in Brooklyn's Pabst Blue Ribbon country. Below, beverage director Maxwell Britten tells us about his favorite drink on the current menu, the first recipe he mastered as a young barkeep, and how to make a great mint julep for your Kentucky Derby bash.
JBF: How would you sum up the Maison Premiere philosophy?
MB: I think the overall goal is to have a transporting experience for our guests. We try to do this through both visuals and the menu. As you walk in the door, the first thing you see is the horseshoe bar. You see the absinthe fountain made of green marble, and the pristinely dressed bartenders with suspenders and slicked-back hair. And then there's the menu, which is like an archive:... Read more >

The Architecture of the USA Pavilion at Expo Milano
How does architecture represent a country? Can a single building embody diverse American values? Is it possible to move 1,200 people an hour through a space not much wider than the Beard House and still give them something to think about? Can such a limited space be outfitted with enough equipment and storage to feed 7 million people top-quality food that represents the breadth and diversity of American cuisine? Is it possible to accomplish all of this and more in a semi-permanent structure that meets the highest standards of sustainability?
These are the sorts of questions that face James Biber, the architect designing the USA Pavilion at the next world's fair, Expo Milano 2015. The theme of Expo Milano is "Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life" and every one of the 147 participating countries is creating an experienc... Read more >

Letter from the President: If Music Be the Food of Love, Play On!
Shakespeare had it right! For centuries the musical arts and the culinary arts have been linked. And a great chef, like a talented musician, plays all the right notes.
Long before he became television's first foodie, James Beard pursued a career in music. After studying opera in London, he came to New York with the dream of making it at the Metropolitan Opera or on Broadway. But like many struggling actors, he ended up paying the rent through a career in food. And aren't we all better for it?
Many of the chefs we know and love had earlier careers as musicians, or have been influenced by music in some way. Our dining experiences are enhanced by custom-made playlists, and chefs have achieved what many have called "rock star" status. This year the James Beard Awards theme is "Sounds of the City," and it celebrates this enduring relationship between music and food. After the medals are handed out, the gala reception at Lincoln Center's D... Read more >

Summary of Stone Me Summary of Stone Me Reviews for Stone Me An Excerpt from Stone Me
In his own words-from rock's most legendary bad boy.
Rock 'n' roll legend and Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has quite a few things to say: about Mick Jagger, the Stones, sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, and life itself. Sample these nuggets of wit and wisdom chipped from the tablets of Stone:
On etiquette: "I've never turned blue in someone else's bathroom. I consider that the height of bad manners."
On Mick Jagger: "My aim is always to try to introduce a bit of levity into his life."
On the police: "There was a knock on our dressing-room door. Our manager shouted, 'Keith! Ron! The Police are here!' Oh, man, we panicked, flushed everything down the john. Then the door opened and it was Stewart Copeland and Sting."
On family: "My father. I snorted my father. He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow."
On dental care: "Miraculously, due to abstinence and prayer, my teeth grew back."

Mentor Graphics and Ecrio Collaborate to Ready Powerful Nucleus-Based LTE IMS Mobile Device Platforms
WILSONVILLE, Ore., January 10, 2012—Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced the integration of Ecrio's industry-leading IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Device Software with its flagship Nucleus® Real Time Operating System (RTOS).
The collaboration leads to the availability of the first IMS-based 4G SMS over LTE (IR.92 VoLTE-compliant) on-device networking stack for the Nucleus product. This technology makes it possible to run both SMS and VoIP services entirely on the baseband processor of a data device without needing to utilize the application processor, thereby increasing battery life and reserving application space for other device functions.
Ecrio's 4G/LTE operator-certified solutions power the key functionality of IMS-based signaling and messaging within the Nucleus platform enabling lower cost, enhanced performance as well as time-to-market for LTE connected devices.
"LTE has become the technology of choice for 4G deployments," said Michel Gannage, founder and CEO of Ecrio. "Leading RTOS solutions such as Mentor's Nucleus platform, enhanced with IMS and IR.92 VoLTE-compliant device software, will contribute to the acceleration of exciting new services on 4G/LTE Mobile Networks."
"Mentor Graphics is delighted to be collaborating with Ecrio, a leader in delivering SIP/IMS device-side solutions, to rapidly enable key core communication protocols and functions within our Nucleus OS solutions for emerging 4G connected devices," said Jan Klube, Nucleus product line director, Mentor Graphics Embedded Software Division.
Used in more than 2.3 billion mobile handsets, the Mentor® Embedded Nucleus product is a proven, highly efficient, and reliable operating system. The Nucleus product is ideal for resource-constrained devices delivering high performance with minimal footprint. Superior power management and a wealth of middleware are easily configured and integrated allowing faster time-to-market for single and multicore devices.

Conceptualism and Craft with K. Silem Mohammad
San Francisco Campus
San Francisco campus map
Get Directions
Specific location on SF campus TBA
$40 general / $30 students and Small Press Traffic members
Class is limited to 20 participants.
Sign up online using Paypal at sptraffic.org or make arrangements through email at firstname.lastname@example.com
This workshop, originally scheduled over four days, but now offered in its entirety on July 8, begins by examining and rehearsing various techniques central to Conceptualist poetics, broadly considered so as to encompass appropriation, transcription, and other versions of what Kenneth Goldsmith has called "uncreative writing," as well as the deliberately awkward and expressively debased gestures associated with Flarf.
We look at these techniques in relation to older and more traditional notions of craft: Can there be coherent criteria for craft-based evaluation of texts written using blankly conceptual or intentionally "bad" methods? Do any of the familiar aesthetic categories still apply, and if so, how?
K. Silem Mohammad is the author of three books of poetry: Breathalyzer (Edge Books, 2008), A Thousand Devils (Combo Books, 2004), and Deer Head Nation (Tougher Disguises, 2003). His work has been featured in numerous journals and anthologies, including The Best American Poetry 2004, Bay Poetics, and A Best of Fence, as well as the forthcoming Flarf: An Anthology of Flarf, which he is coediting with Sharon Mesmer, Nada Gordon, and Gary Sullivan. With Anne Boyer, he edits the poetry magazine Abraham Lincoln. He is associate professor of English and Writing at Southern Oregon University in Ashland.

Every year at 7:20 AM, Punxsutawney Phil will emerge from his burrow to forecast the fate of winter.
The idea of Groundhog day began with the Germans who brought the legend of Candlemas day to the United States. Candlemas Day was a day where clergy in the churches would distrubute candles needed for the long winter months. The candles represented how long and how cold the winter would be.
Later, Germans selected the hedgehog as a means to forecast the weather.
Once the Germans came to America, they continued the tradition. However, they switched to groundhogs because Pennsylvania had so many of them at the time.
The first Groundhog Day celebration dates back to 1857. Punxsutawney Phil was named after King Phillip, but was originally named Briar Groundhog.
The legend says, if Phil sees his shadow at 7:20 AM on Groundhog Day, we'll see 6 more weeks of winter. if Phil doesn't see his shadow, Spring is sure to come soon.
Of course this is all in fun. Just don't tell Phil.
Here's a few facts from WashingtonPost.com
126:The number of times Punxsutawney Phil has predicted the weather, as of Feb. 2, 2012.
• 100%: Accuracy rate of Punxsutawney Phil, according to the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club.
• 39%: Accuracy rate of Punxsutawney Phil according to Stam Zervanos, a professor emeritus of biology at Pennsylvania State University, Berks College, who has studied groundhog hibernation.
• 60: Number of weeks of winter Punsatawney Phil threatened to impose on America during Prohibition, if he wasn't allowed a drink.
• 25+: Number of alternative groundhogs across North America — though none is as famous as Punxsutawney Phil. Other groundhogs include "Sutton Sammy" in Ontario, "Chuckles" of Manchester, Conn., "Shubenacadie Sam" in Nova Scotia, "Staten Island Chuck," and "General Beauregard Lee," of Lilburn, Ga.
• 8:30 a.m.: February 2, 8:30 a.m. to be precise. Potential debut of Potomac Phil, D.C.'s first weather-predicting groundhog. Resident Aaron DeNu is searching for a live groundhog by Thursday to become Potomac Phil (He's already procured a stuffed groundhog, but is unsure of how a stuffed groundhog would be able to see its own shadow). Potomac Phil will predict the length of winter in D.C.'s Dupont Circle.

Nothing warms a holiday table like a poinsettia bursting with color, or a bouquet of white and red roses.
This season, avoid flowers grown with chemicals in less than fair-wage conditions by seeking out certified Organic, Fair Trade and sustainably grown products for the celebratory arrays.
One source for seasonal, organically grown or eco-friendly flowers is Organic Bouquet online. This green florist sells bouquets that are USDA certified Organic. Many also bear the Fair Trade label, which assures they were produced by equitably treated workers, and the Rainforest Alliance certification, which verifies that the flowers were grown using ecologically sensitive methods.

A woman, affected by what activists say was a gas attack, breathes through an oxygen mask inside a field hospital in Kfar Zeita village in the central province of Hama April 12, 2014. Syrian opposition activists have posted photographs and video that they say shows an improvised chlorine bomb to back up claims that President Bashar al-Assad's forces used chemical weapons in two attacks last week. Rebels and the government have blamed each other for the alleged poison gas attacks on Friday and Saturday on rebel-held Kfar Zeita village in the central province of Hama, 125 miles(201 km) north of Damascus.

Nice Post re/ Solyndra . . . Bud's?
My point is certain regulars on this site have agendas on certain things (fracking, Keystone XL, climate change, etc) and will keep pounding the articles to further their cause. Like non-stop attack ads at election time it brainwashes people who are not well read. Tesla is best in breed and when a drunk crashes any car at high speed it's likely to burn. And yes, at some point I may just buy one,
Great comments today on Obama's dispute of jobs from Keystone XL!
Congratulations on having the stamina to post for 1,700 consecutive days. Keep up the Great Work. Want to become buddies?? Warren {:-)

Postpartum Depression Strikes New Fathers, Too
After the birth of a child, both men and women are susceptible. How to respond.
The birth of John Hyman's first child didn't fill him with the joy he might have hoped for. Far from treasuring every minute with his son, the Rockville, Md., college writing instructor reacted by teaching more courses just to get himself out of the house. "I didn't know what my role was there," recalls Hyman, 51. His wife, by contrast, bonded instantly with their son, Jake, now a teenager. "Betsy fell in love. It was primal," he says. "I didn't have that experience. I thought I was broken. I remember thinking this was a dirty little secret I would have to deal with."
Hyman wasn't broken. He was depressed. Long recognized as a problem afflicting some new mothers, postpartum depression can also grip men—though mental health professionals acknowledge that until recently they largely overlooked that fact. Male postpartum depression took a step out of obscurity this month when it was for the first time the subject of a workshop at the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association.
Ten percent of new fathers and 14 percent of new mothers are affected by depression, says psychologist James F. Paulson, assistant professor of pediatrics at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, Va. Yet most men and their partners fail to recognize the condition when it arises. The symptoms are similar in both sexes, but the causes may be different. Hormonal changes can contribute to a woman's suffering, experts suspect, whereas sudden and unexpected lifestyle changes are thought to trigger a father's depression. "After the baby is born, there's a change in family structure," says Thomas Newmark, chief of psychiatry at Cooper University Hospital in Camden, N.J., and organizer of the APA workshop. "There might be pressure to take care of the child economically. The man may not get the attention from his wife that he was used to. And, of course, his sleep is affected."
Depressed dads are more likely than moms to display destructive behaviors, including increased use of alcohol or drugs, shows of anger, engagement in conflicts, and risk-taking such as reckless driving or extramarital sex. Some, like Hyman, elect to work longer hours. Other signs: a depressed or sad mood, loss of interest or pleasure, weight gain or loss, oversleeping or trouble sleeping, restlessness, fatigue, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, impaired concentration, and thoughts of suicide or death. The depression can begin within days or weeks of delivery and last for a year or more.
If untreated, a father's postpartum depression can be harmful to the child as well as to both parents. Children born into such families receive less attention from the depressed parent and are at increased risk for developing physical and emotional problems, Paulson says. Depression in the father is thought to increase the likelihood that his children will act out or behave destructively. (Depression in the mother, by contrast, is associated with decreased overall health, learning problems, and a greater risk for developing depression.) Postpartum depression can typically be treated with therapy, medication, or a combination.
A partner's involvement is usually critical to identifying depression in a new father. "Often times, it will be the wife who is first to notice," says Berkeley, Calif., psychotherapist Will Courtenay, who specializes in men's health. "She'll say, 'He just hasn't been himself lately.' "
Vigilance is most called for when one's partner has been previously depressed. Having a history of depression or mental illness puts a father at greater risk of postpartum depression, as does having a spouse with postpartum depression. This is true even if the couple is separated, divorced, or unmarried, says Paulson, whose Eastern Virginia team earlier this year completed a study, now under peer review, involving noncohabitating parents.
Hyman, who didn't undergo treatment, experienced a turning point two months after his son's birth, when his wife placed the squirming infant on his chest and father and son fell asleep. "When I came to, I looked down and just collapsed into tears," he says. "I knew then that he was a part of me."

Home Town Fav! – I used to live down the street from this place, and most of their food is amazing!
The house dressing is wonderful. They sell it in bottles at the counter. The thick and creamy Italian dressing is great too.
Anything from the chef's menu of the day is divine. It ups the average cost a few bucks, but I must say, I don't go anywhere else when I'm craving a seafood pasta. The orange seafood sauce is the best I've ever had.
The pizza is decent. Thin, large, NY style. Big chunks of meat. It's good, but nothing special.
I think the regular Alfredo sauce is a little bland for my taste.
The service here is top notch. I've always had the most wonderful servers.
Great food and great service, what more could you want! – I love their pizza! Such a good crust and good sauce. Actually I had it at my mom's house and she lives only a short distance from the NRH store. But a week later I had a wicked craving from some more yummy pizza and called them. Unfortuanally I live in Bedford and they don't deliver all the way out here. But they were nice enough to make an exception and deliver to me. I was so grateful to have their yummy pizza and a pretty good cheesecake. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys NY style pizza. It's so good and the service is awesome as well.
Great Delivery! – Ordered the chicken alfredo tonight with a tiramisu desert. Order taker was very pleasant, took my order, got all my pertinent information and gave me a total and expected delivery time. I was quite impressed to have my food here in about 25 minutes (this during dinner rush at 7 pm no less), hot fresh and very tasty. The alfredo sauce was impressive, very rich and more than plenty of it to cover the abundant amount of pasta and chicken on this dish. To go along with this, two very delicious rolls and salad, all of which left me so entirely full that I've yet to start working on the tiramisu. For under $20, including 20% tip, this was probably enough food to serve two normal folks. But then again, as Justin Wilson used to say I'm what he would call a "gourmond," a real food lover. Kudos to Niki's you guys have a new regular for sure. Stay tuned for a in-restaraunt review soon!
Editorial Review by Citysearch Editors – Family-owned Italian restaurant in North Richland Hills provides a casual and romantic vibe for noshing classic dishes.
Good food, good price – If you want italian food, but don't want to go to an italian restaurant "chain", then this is the place to go. The food is delicious and you get good size portions. The restaurant is family friendly, yet cozy. The homemade bread is addictive! The service is attentive. Good "sit down and be served" restaurant on a budget.
Great restaurant! – A family member introduced me to this wonderful Italian restaurant! The servie was great, the food was HOT and DELICIOUS served in a very friendly manner...we did not have to wait long for our order to be brought out to us, the waitress kept our glasses filled...she even invited us to come back which is has not happened to us very often at different restaurants in the same general vicinity. I would and have highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys great, delicious food and relaxing atmosphere.

In this Jan. 16, 2003 file photo, the space shuttle Columbia liftoffs from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla. Space shuttle Columbia broke apart in flames 200,000 feet over Texas on Saturday, Feb. 1, 2003 killing all seven astronauts just minutes before they were to glide to a landing in Florida. Ten years later, reminders of Columbia are everywhere, including up in the sky. Everything from asteroids, lunar craters and Martian hills, to schools, parks, streets and even an airport (Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport) bear the Columbia astronauts' names. Two years ago, a museum opened in Hemphill, Texas, where much of the Columbia wreckage rained down, dedicated to "remembering Columbia." About 84,000 pounds of that wreckage, representing 40 percent of NASA's oldest space shuttle, are stored at Kennedy and loaned for engineering research.(AP Photo/Chris O'Meara)

The Ivan Hlinka and Team Canada U20 camps are over, and the CHL begins pre-season in two weeks. Who are the early names to watch for 2011?
1. D Adam Larsson (Skellefteå, Elitserien)
The 2010-11 season isn't even underway yet and Adam Larsson is already piling up the points. A season removed from a year in which he chased the U18 points record in the Elitserien, the 6'3, rearguard potted four assists in four games at a recent U20 tournament hosted by USA Hockey in Lake Placid.
Simply put, the Swedish phenom was ready to be fed 15 minutes a night at the NHL level last year. But just what makes him so special?
Beyond his commanding hockey sense and pinpoint-accurate outlet passes, Larssons 'recoverability' may be the best ever in a prospect. A puck can get behind him, bounce- whatever- and Larsson will have gotten it 80 feet up the ice and onto a teammate's stick before anyone else on the ice can comprehend there's a scoring chance.
Blessed also with a laser wristshot that is as accurate from the face-off dots as it is from the blueline, Larsson's only rough spot is skating- particularly his acceleration. It's possible that his legs are simply not strong enough to support the 220 lbs of bulk the youngster has already amassed. If he can fix that, Drew Doughty and Tyler Myers will no longer be the youngest folks on the Norris ballot.
2. LW/C Sean Couturier (Drummondville, QMJHL)
Quick, name the two players to lead the QMJHL in scoring a year before their draft year. And... go! Sidney Crosby is a given; he was the CHL's Player of the Year at 16. Mario Lemieux? No; while his 184 points are unthinkable today, Pat LaFontaine nailed 234 during the 1982-83 season. Guy Lafleur? Close. He was just four points off the lead the year before his draft year of 1971, although the draft age was 20 then and not 18.
Despite the staggering number of offensive talents that rounded out their game in the Q, only other player to do it is Sean Couturier. Ineligible to play in the Ivan Hlinka- he turned 18 last December- Couturier instead took part in Hockey Canada's U20 team camp in early August, the only 2011-eligible forward invited. He simply did not look out of place, tallying 1-2-3 in two intrasquad games.
Couturier is as close to the perfect big man forward as can be. Lacking the innate psychosis of a player like Eric Lindros, Couturier is a dominant one-on-one talent who has improved his skating mechanics to become an excellent skater for someone of any size, let alone one that is 6'4 and 191 lbs. A wicked wrist shot perfectly matches a fine sense for the playmaking game, and Couturier is able to thread needle-perfect passes both backhand and forehand. A close comparable at this point would be mercurial Tampa talent Vincent Lecavalier.
3. C Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (Red Deer, WHL)
TC's top scorer both goal-wise and point-wise at the Ivan Hlinka Tournament, with 5-2-7 in five games, it's almost a sure thing speedster center Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will earn an invite to the U20 December camp. A silky-smooth skater who reaches top speed in the blink of an eye, Hopkins is a scorer who amasses his goals through pure shot volume rather than accuracy. However, he may be even more effective at passing the puck- see a team second-best 41 assists with Red Deer last season.
While John Tavares and Victor Hedman had the top two spots in the 2009 Draft wrapped up from even before the start of the season, Matt Duchene was equally as entrenched in the top three. It will likely prove as tough for any player to knock Hopkins from the #3 pole position this year. Although extremely slight at 6'0 and somewhere under 180 lbs, few of the WHL's elite rearguards have been able to contain him simply because they can't catch him.
4. LW Matt Puempel (Peterborough Petes, OHL)
From his tremendous edge control and agility to an NHL-caliber release to his soft hands, Matt Puempel is the second-best overall offensive talent in the class behind Sean Couturier. A rookie sensation last season in the OHL with a team-best 33 goals, Puempel and Hopkins found immediate chemistry at the Hlinka thanks to the former's pure control over the wing and the latter speedster's dominance of the middle of the ice.
While not has physical as his idol Jarome Iginla, Puempel works the puck up the boards like a hot knife through butter, bulling the puck with his body when his speed or fine puck control can't do the job. If there is a player who can unseat Hopkins, it will be Puempel- a potential 95-100 point player in the OHL this season.
5. LW/C Victor Rask (Leksand J20, SuperElit)
As snake-bitten a player as there ever was during the recent Ivan Hlinka, Victor Rask nevertheless hangs onto a top-five spot thanks to his refined overall game. A strong skater with deceptive acceleration, while Rask wasn't scoring in Piestany, the gifted playmaker wasn't a liability either. A refined faceoff man, the 6'2, 194 pivot nevertheless could still be a top-end NHL center even if he never becomes a 30-goal man; look no further than 6'2 Mikko Koivu, an extremely similar style of player who will be earning almost seven million dollars starting next year despite never having hit 25 goals.
6. LW Brandon Saad (Saginaw Spirit, OHL)
Winger Brandon Saad will make his OHL debut two years after being taken in the first round of that league's Bantam Draft, an eternity in major junior time. What took so long? The Pennsylvania product had numerous competing offers from NCAA schools, but was waiting to see how fast he developed. After all, if you believe you're only going to need to remain in an amateur setting for two years, why not spend them in the CHL playing a pro-like schedule?
And that's exactly the conclusion Saad came to. The NTDP's leading scorer with 29 goals and 58 points in 63 games, the power winger possesses excellent top-end speed for a big man- and even better hands. However, Saad isn't the kind of player to just rely on victimizing junior/college defenses with slick moves; while not a physical terror, the 6'2, 200 lbs winger understand how to use his body to shield the puck and win battles along the wall.
Despite a crackling shot, Saad's had difficulty being a consistent goal scorer. However, take a look at this quote from LegendsofHockey.net:
"With his size and grit, left winger John LeClair was made for the modern NHL game. He had the ability to win the battles in the corners and the speed to be dangerous on the rush. Though a slow starter in terms of goal scoring, LeClair made up ground fast, becoming the first American-born player in the history of the league to score more than 50 goals in a season three times."
Just sayin'.
7. D Nathan Beaulieu (Saint John, QMJHL)
Playing with the likes of smooth-skating, responsible rearguard like Simon Despres can have its advantages, and so can lining up behind one of the top offenses in the Q. For 18-year-old Nathan Beaulieu, the advantage was an excellent learning experience combined with the ability to rack up points.
12th in the QMJHL among defensemen with 45 points, Beaulieu's most impressive statistic was his +43 rating. Beaulieu is extraordinarily mature in almost every aspect of his game. He possesses a slick, accurate outlet pass and uses his hockey sense and above-average mobility to pinch into openings while manning the point. Defensively, he is close to error-free in the way he can knock down either lateral or vertical passes, and he is technically refined in angling a player away from dangerous scoring areas. Although 6'2, Beaulieu is just 175 lbs and will improve in that area as he gains mass.
Along with Couturier, Beaulieu was one of just two 2011-eligible skaters invited to the Team Canada WJC summer camp.
8. D David Musil (Vancouver Giants, WHL)
The WHL's biggest surprise in 2009-10, Czech import David Musil managed to not only match the hype built up about him in his home country, but somehow exceed it. On the radar of scouts ever since debuting at the men's level at the age of 15, Musil was so highly sought-after that the WHL had to hold a special lottery just for his rights. The son of former NHLer Frank Musil, David posted a stunning +33 rating along with an equally impressive 32 points.
Based on that, how could he possibly not be in our top five? The 6'3, 191 lbs rearguard is an excellent prospect, don't get us wrong; he compares favorably to the likes of Luke Schenn and Karl Alzner. However, the 2011 class is much deeper than expected.
While he looks like Bambi at times on the ice with his long, awkward skating style, Musil can generate a reasonable amount of speed. In addition, his body is almost always in the right place and he quietly, reliably does an excellent job of clearing out the puck.
However, one needs to look at the context of his team to understand where his points came from. No fewer than three players on the Giants potted over a point a game. In addition, regardless of whether Musil was on the first or second pairing, he was inevitably paired with a very strong offensive defenseman- either Kevin Connauton, who posted 72 points, or Neil Manning, a 59-point player.
Generally shy about engaging much in the offensive side of the game and perhaps not blessed with anything more than average offensive acumen, Musil will be strongly tested this upcoming season; Connauton (VAN) and leading scorer Craig Cunningham (BOS) may opt to jump to the AHL this year, meaning he will be relied up on to not only play in his own zone but move the puck. If he succeeds, there's a possibility a team will like him as much as Florida liked Erik Gudbranson.
9. D Duncan Siemens (Saskatoon Blades, WHL)
One of the WHL's top rookies in 2009-10, 6'3 Duncan Siemens is a player we're bound to hear more about as the season progresses. Dylan McIlrath, after all, heralded the return of the big, mean western boy to the top half of the Draft's first round, and Siemens is a similar player. Racking up 89 PIM in addition to 20 points and a +11 for the Blades, Siemens is a better player at the same age than McIlrath; while not as physically imposing either in stature or snarl, the third overall pick in the 2008 WHL Bantam Draft is a technically sound skater. In addition, Siemens is a stronger puckhandler, although his shot is somewhat lacking.
10. C/RW Matthew Nieto (USNTDP U18)
Committed to Boston University for this fall, offensive dynamo Matthew Nieto finished third on the USNTDP U18 squad with 54 points in 54 games. A flashy forward with the ability to slow the game down and dissect the offensive zone at will, Nieto is a excellent skater off the hop but lacks the top-end speed many elite forwards do. Like Shane McColgan (see below) there's a possibility Nieto will simply be too vanilla to thrive at the next level. However, based on pure ability, he's a top twelve selection.
11. RW Shane McColgan (Kelowna Rockets, WHL)
The latest in a recent wave of California talent to vie for a spot in the NHL Entry Draft's first round, 5'10 winger Shane McColgan has the perfect game to thrive in the NHL- if only he was 6'2. Although a fun player to watch- in addition to a non-stop motor and a willingness to get involved physically, McColgan is defensively reliable- he may not have the pure skill and elite speed required to be more than a complimentary player.
Such worries dogged Zach Hamill (8th overall '07)and Zach Boychuk (14th overall '08), and neither has been able to establish themselves as NHL players. McColgan had an excellent rookie season in 09-01, posting 44 goals and 69 points in 71 games, but opposing defenses may be better prepared for him this season.
12. RW Tomas Jurco (Saint John, QMJHL)
The fourth overall pick in the 2009 CHL Import Draft, 6'1, 183 lbs Tomas Jurco enjoyed a seamless transition to North America in 2009-10, tallying 51 points as a QMJHL rookie. An extraordinarily slick puckhandler who uses every inch of an extremely long reach to his advantage, Jurco electrified fans from his very first month in a Sea Dogs uniform.
Beyond his staggering technical skill, Jurco enjoys partaking in the physical game and seemed to thrive with increased defensive assignments as the year went on. Jurco has a tendency to skate with a bow-legged stride, and needs a lot of tarmac to generate his maximum speed. However, he is a game-breaker in the offensive zone and should be a high pick.
13. D Ryan Murphy (Kitchener Rangers, OHL)
2011's edition of Ryan Ellis, 5'11 160 lbs Ryan Murphy is in the right league for offensive defensemen- that much is clear. 18th in league scoring among rearguards and tops among those eligible for the 2011 Draft, Murphy differs from Ellis in the way that Phil Housley differed from Paul Coffey. An excellent skater who moves with fluid, long strides, Murphy prefers to fuel the attack end-to-end rather than through point control like Ellis.
Murphy is not strong defensively- mind the pun- and lacks Ellis' blistering shot. However, thanks to advatnage in skating ability, the result is potentially a more effective offensive player both at even strength and on the powerplay.
14. C Vladislav Namestnikov (Khimik Voskresensk, KHL)
Tied with speedster Evgeny Kuznetsov for the Russian goal-scoring lead at last year's U18s, Vladislav Namestnikov is the top player from that country in the 2011 Draft. Just one of two U18 players in the Russian Major League- the second-highest professional league in Russia- Namestnikov reminds one of Ily Kovalchuk in the way the 6'0, 165 lbs forward backs defenders off with his speed, creativity and puck control. A master at stickhandling at top speed, if defenders don't give him space, they'll quickly find their jocks somewhere in the second row.
Namestinkov's lethal shot needs little time and space to find its target, and he rarely telegraphs his attentions- a deadly trifecta.
Namestnikov was selected by the London Knights in the first round of the 2010 CHL Import Draft and rumors run rampant that he and fellow Russian selection Igor Bobkov will report this year. If they don't, however, Namestnikov will likely fall victim to the transfer agreement as Vladimir Tarasenko and Evgenky Kuznetsov did.
15. C Boone Jenner (Oshawa Generals, OHL)
A candidate to shoot up the draft board as the year progresses, 6'1 193 lbs Boone Jenner is a burgeoning power forward who may be the best one-on-one talent in the OHL. Although Jenner initially had trouble adjusting to the pace and speed of the major junior game, he finished the year with thirteen points over Oshawa's last nineteen games.
Beyond his highlight-reel hands and a love for the tough stuff, Jenner possesses an extremely accurate snap and wrist shot. What will ultimately decide his future at the next level is his skating ability; both weak on his skates and fundamentally poor in style, he will need to improve either one or both of those categories to avoid the kind of rough ride Rob Schremp has endured so far.

... Great, insightful article, Matt. Pleasure to read.
I was curious as to where you'd peg Seth Ambroz in your rankings right now though. I've read that he's considered a potential top-5 talent, so I was surprised that he didn't crack your top-15.

Most businesses claim to care about the customer experience. A considerably smaller amount actually delivers a satisfying one. It is a story as old as time: talking the talk but not walking the walk. The consequences, however, continue to get more significant. Thanks to simultaneous escalation of customer expectations and rise of social channels for sharing feedback, businesses that waver in their customer experience commitments are not only missing an opportunity to capitalize on their engagements - they are actively driving existing and potential customers to their competitors.

Cellar/Tasting Notes Although it begins with austerity, its acidity and tannins dominant, the palate opens beyond its youthfulness after a few moments. It becomes dark and powerful, certainly still dryly tannic, but the fruit is generous, and the final taste is of beautiful, ripe fruits.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Since 2002, this great terroir has been fully exploited by the dynamic duo of Nicolas Thienpont and Stephane Derenoncourt. Following the monumental 2005,a legend in the making, it is hard to get excited about the 2006, even though it is an outstanding effort. While more austere and not as..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Barrel sample. A very smooth, rich wine, with a slight touch of pepper from the alcohol. The tannins are huge but submerged by ripe fruit. There's almost Napa-like ripeness, but also delicious acidity."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Blueberry, licorice and sandalwood, with a solid core of fruit. Velvet and mineral. Lots going on. An impressive wine from tiny yields. 75 percent Merlot and 25 percent Cabernet Franc."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Very lively white with wonderful pineapple, honey and lemons on the nose and palate. Great finish with such intensity. Mineral, white pepper, and tropical fruit. Complex aftertaste of spices, pie crust, and lemon meringue. Fab. 66% Sauvignon Blanc, 12% Semillon, and 22% Muscadelle. Production..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "From the same stable as Mouton Rothschild and d'Armailhac, Clerc Milon, despite the relatively high percentage of Merlot (44%) combined with 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and the balance Cabernet Franc, is dense, rich, tannic, and backward. Surprisingly muscular for this offering, which often exhibits..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The second wine from Chateau Angelus, one of St. Emilion's greatest wines. Just as its older sibling the wine is beautifully elegant with great balance and floral aromas.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "An intense, tight wine, with stalky black currant fruit. It exhibits delicacy and elegance rather than power. Fresh fruit with an attractive smoky element make this a wine that is going to develop further, and it has a fresh, vibrant finish."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Intense aromas of blackberry and smoke. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and long finish. Solid and tight. As it should be."
Cellar/Tasting Notes A big, powerful Margaux that should age for 20+ years, this inky purple-colored wine exhibits notes of spring flowers intermixed with blackberries, raspberries and cassis. Some lead pencil shavings and toasty oak are also present in this powerful yet at the same time very pure, textured,..

I got the color "CORAL LUSTRE". It has amazing color payoff and the packaging is adorable! It goes on smoothly and is really moisturizing and conditioning!
I have this in Lacquered Brown, which is actually a beautiful, plummy shade when applied because these lipsticks apply slightly more sheer than the original Color Sensational lipsticks. These glide on application, and shine lasts a couple hours.
My mom bought this in Plum Shine. I used it and it looks very beautiful. Besides giving the promised "shine", it also gives true color. It goes very nice with a white blouse.
the color doesn't stay, the lipstick tastes bitter, it's not creamy, feels cheap
