Detroit Red Wings vs. Tampa Bay Lightning- Preview And Notes
by Paul on 01/29/15 at 09:48 AM ET
Comments (3)
via Brian Hunter of NHL.com,
Season series: Ryan Callahan assisted on two goals by Steven Stamkos in regulation and scored the only goal of the shootout when the Tampa Bay Lightning won their first game this season against the Detroit Red Wings. Gustav Nyquist and Johan Franzen each had a goal and an assist for Detroit. The Red Wings enter Thursday one point ahead of the Lightning for the Atlantic Division lead.
Red Wings team scope: Injured goaltenders Jimmy Howard (groin) and Jonas Gustavsson (shoulder) were on the ice Wednesday along with Detroit's two active goalies, Petr Mrazek and Tom McCollum. Forward Tomas Jurco (back), who hasn't played since Jan. 6, skated on the fourth line with Joakim Andersson and Drew Miller. Coach Mike Babcock said Jurco will play Thursday, according to MLive.com, which also reported defenseman Jakub Kindl (elbow) has been cleared to return. However, rookie Xavier Ouellet will remain in the lineup for now. The Red Wings expressed wariness going up against Stamkos and the Lightning. "They're a deep team, good goaltending," forward Henrik Zetterberg told the Tampa Bay Times. "Obviously Stamkos is probably the best sniper in the League. That helps."
Lightning team scope: An 0-for-3 showing on the power play in a 4-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday left Tampa Bay 1-for-15 with the man advantage in its past five games. "I think our biggest problem is we just don't have that shooter's mentality right now," coach Jon Cooper said in video posted by the team. The Lightning were 16th on the power play at 18.1 percent entering Wednesday; contrast that with the Red Wings, whose 25.3-percent success rate was second. "I'm worried about our power play, not so much theirs," Cooper said. Forward Brian Boyle scored shorthanded against the Hurricanes and has goals in consecutive games. Forward Jonathan Drouin is fourth among rookies with 17 assists and tied for sixth with 19 points.

Who Wants To Be Ken Holland?

from Chris Nichols of Nichols On Hockey,
Sabres GM Tim Murray was on Buffalo's WGR 550 on Wednesday morning.
On how he has a dream job and if he's having fun listening to trades:
"No. It's no fun. I would love to be... who? I would love to be Kenny Holland. 23, 22 years making the playoffs. Not having GMs call you about available players because there's nobody available. And the only trade you have to make, each and every year around the deadline, is to add a veteran guy to play on your third line or whatever that you feel could put you over the top, and that may be a second round pick. If it's a second line player, maybe a first round pick. And you know you don't even mind giving up a first round pick because you have that type of team. That would be fun, to me.

The mid season break is over, and, here's hoping that the Wings come out flying. The second half of the season should prove interesting with many Teams in the East nipping at our heels.
The Wings are going through growing pains, but, the Team seems to be gelling more often than not. Climbing outta holes dug in the first period, or, blowing leads is still causing angst among the 19, and although the Wings have emerged victorious in a few games, it is a bad habit that has to be broken.
Yes, some of these come from behind wins are going to build character, but, so will a good "start to finish" type of game.
I'm looking forward to a refreshed, ready to go for sixty minutes every night, Detroit Red Wings Hockey Team.

Preview And Notes- Detroit Red Wings vs. Florida Panthers
by Paul on 01/27/15 at 11:10 AM ET

via Brian Hedger at NHL.com,
Season series: Florida Panthers goalie Roberto Luongo earned wins in the first two games against the Detroit Red Wings, making 67 saves on 72 shots for a .930 save percentage. Center Pavel Datsyuk has a goal and two assists to lead the Red Wings.
Red Wings team scope: Detroit went into the break on a high note after winning five straight games. The Red Wings are 10-3-0 since losing six straight games in December, which has vaulted them back into the race for the Atlantic Division lead despite goalie Jimmy Howard's torn groin. Veteran backup Jonas Gustavsson is still recovering from a separated shoulder, so the starting role currently belongs to Petr Mrazek. The 22-year old has responded well; he's started all five games since Howard got hurt and is 4-0-0. Howard skated for about 20 minutes at practice Monday and hopes to return in the original 3-4 week timeline. Forward Tomas Jurco (back) practiced, but is questionable. Forward Johan Franzen (upper body) didn't practice and is out. Defenseman Jakub Kindl (elbow) may come off injured reserve, but isn't likely to play over rookie Xavier Ouellet.
Panthers team scope: Florida stumbled into the break winless in the past four games. The Panthers earned one of eight possible points in that span, which helped widen the gap between themselves and the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.. The Panthers (50 points) are seven points back of the Washington Capitals and Boston Bruins, the East's current wild-card holders. Defense and Luongo's goaltending are keeping their odds of making the postseason alive at this point. Florida's 107 goals ranks 25th in the League, but the Panthers are in the top half of the NHL (13th) in goals allowed (122). Coach Gerard Gallant said Monday that injured forward Shawn Thornton (groin) is getting close to returning, but probably won't play against Detroit.

So Far So Good

This is our last game before the All Star break, and, I'm sure the Wings are looking forward to a little R&R. I have to say, so far so good. The kids are doing a great job most nights, and, Z is a very good leader along with his Magical counterpart.
We're still right there in the mix of things, and, getting better as the season goes on, matching the halfway point criteria set by Scotty, or, was it KH, as the indicator of our probability of making the playoffs.
Barring any more major injuries, (SWM) I'm feeling kinda good aboot the remainder of the regular season.
Let's get er' done.

What If Parise And Suter Signed With Detroit
by Paul on 01/20/15 at 04:21 PM ET
Comments (16)
from Brendan Savage of Mlive,
... what if the Red Wings would have been able to get both Suter and Parise to sign in Detroit? Would the past two seasons have played out differently for the Red Wings and where would they be now?
One this is for sure: Moving forward, they would have been stuck with a couple of big contracts that wouldn't have expired until Parise is 40 and Suter is 39.
As it is today, the Red Wings are in good shape as they pursue a 24th straight playoff berth. They're two points out of first place in the Eastern Conference and are sixth in the overall standings - five points behind first-place Anaheim - after winning their last four.
And Minnesota?
Well, the Wild aren't doing quite as well. Minnesota is last in the Central Division and 12th in the Western Conference, six points behind eighth-place Calgary. The top eight teams make the playoffs.
Parise is having a solid season with 17 goals and 34 points in 38 games while Suter has a minus-10 rating and 23 points in 41 games.

Preview And Notes- Detroit Red Wings/Minnesota Wild

via Dan Myers at NHL.com,
Season series: The Minnesota Wild and Detroit Red Wings each won on home ice last season. The Red Wings won 4-3 at Joe Louis Arena on Mar. 23. Detroit forward Gustav Nyquist had three goals in the two games. The Wild are 4-3-0 in their past seven games in Detroit.
Wild team scope: Minnesota will be playing the second half of back-to-back games following a 3-1 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets Monday in St. Paul. Forward Mikael Granlund, who has missed the past 10 games following wrist surgery, and goaltender Darcy Kuemper, who has missed six games with a lower-body injury could return to the lineup. "(Granlund) is a guy that's a huge part of our lineup and a huge part of our team, and certainly we've missed him," coach Mike Yeo said after the game. Kuemper was activated from injured reserve on Monday, but with three healthy goaltenders, was scratched from the lineup. Yeo did not rule out the possibility of Kuemper starting in goal on Tuesday.
Red Wings team scope: Detroit has won four games in a row and six of its past seven following a 6-4 win against the Buffalo Sabres Sunday. With Jimmy Howard (groin) out indefinitely, 22-year old Petr Mrazek has taken the reigns in goal and won four of his past five starts, including each game of a back-to-back set over the weekend. "It's like being on the mound in baseball," coach Mike Babcock told the Red Wings website. "When they give you run support, it's way easier to be great. … I thought the guys got off to a good start and then he was big and square." The Red Wings have scored 17 goals during their winning streak, led by Henrik Zetterberg, who had a hat trick against the Sabres and leads Detroit with 41 points this season.

As Mickey would say," Holy Jumpin!" You know we are riding high today, what, with the win last night against a solid WC Team and five goals scored. Now, we play the waiting game to see if tonight's tilt will be mailed in as we are sadly used to, or, do the Wings show up and actually do the job set before them, deliver, and take down Buffalo.
With both Teams heading into a back to back, (Buffalo lost last night, the Wings won last night) we are facing a DOUBLE TRAP game.
Uncle Mike's Gold Medal game plan is working right now, so tonight we shall see if the boys can set the TRAP again, and deliver on time.

After tonight's game, the Buffalo Sabres will not play until Tuesday, January 27th. A nice, extended All-Star break!
Also note the game is an 8:00pm ET start and is on NBCSN.
via NHL.com,
Season series: The Detroit Red Wings are 2-0-1 against the Buffalo Sabres, including a 3-1 win at First Niagara Center on Tuesday. Tomas Tatar (four goals), Pavel Datsyuk (one goal, three assists) and Gustav Nyquist (one goal, three assists) each have four points against the Sabres this season.
Sabres team scope: The losses keep piling up for Buffalo; it suffered its 10th straight defeat in regulation with a 4-3 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers at Wells Fargo Center on Saturday. Zemgus Girgensons scored twice for Buffalo, which had a decent response after a 7-0 loss to the Minnesota Wild on Thursday. "The effort was there and obviously some of the things that happened when you have a couple young defensemen, that's going to happen occasionally," coach Ted Nolan said. "But at least the effort was way better."
Red Wings team scope: Detroit will also be playing its second game in as many nights; the Red Wings earned a 5-2 victory against the Nashville Predators at Joe Louis Arena on Saturday. Tatar scored twice and had an assist to lead Detroit to its third straight win. Tatar reached the 20-goal plateau for the first time in his career; he had 19 goals in 73 games last season. "I'm not really thinking about it right now, but obviously I'm happy I did it and hopefully I'll keep scoring and help the team pick up wins," Tatar said. "Right now I don't realize it. I took it as just another game and we won and that's the big thing right now." Petr Mrazek, filling in for injured starter Jimmy Howard (groin) made 34 saves Saturday, and coach Mike Babcock said he'll play against Buffalo.

The Wings are home again coming off a road trip where we have won four out of six games. Not to shabby I'd say. We are in a Division with all Teams keeping up the pace and continue to nip at our heels, so every single point matters.
Nashville is in the house tonight, coming in riding high on a five game winning streak, and managing to win without their #1 starter, Pekka Rinne. Also, they played last night, but that means nothing unless the Wings show up full force.
This is a TRAP and if the Wings think for one split second that The Preds will be tired or worn down they are mistaken. In the past that often meant trouble with the Wings taking Teams for granted, not putting in a full sixty minutes, a TRAP.
Once again it's up to Uncle Mike to have his Gold Medal plan ready, and make sure the Team executes said plan to a WIN.
Tonight, the Wings must set the TRAP.

Anime grows up: TIFF retrospective celebrates work of Mamoru Oshii
But the director has used his work to tackle politics, philosophy and the massive impact of new technology on what it means to be human.

Though anime has made the shift from a fixture of Japanese popular culture to full-on global phenomenon, many in the West still regard it first and foremost as entertainment for younger viewers. That's not so surprising given the gee-whiz factor of many of the genre's most iconic examples, be it the high-flying adventures of Astro Boy, the wondrous visions of Hayao Miyazaki or the frantic action of Fullmetal Alchemist.
Yet the world of Japanese animation has also been wide enough to accommodate work with a more grown-up sensibility. Indeed, one of anime's most revered figures believes there's a greater shift toward weightier fare.
"More than half of the anime made in Japan are not for children now," says Mamoru Oshii. "I feel that there's going to be more anime made for the older audience."
With his brainy brand of science fiction, Oshii has been largely responsible for the trend along with peers like Katsuhiro Otomo and the late Satoshi Kon. The filmmaker appears at TIFF Bell Lightbox this weekend to present several titles in Techno/Human, a five-film retrospective of his often groundbreaking anime features that runs July 12 to 19.
It's not that Oshii has been stingy when it comes to giving fanboys and -girls all the frenetic action scenes and dazzling images they expect.
But the director has also used his work to tackle heady matters of politics, philosophy and — most prominently — the massive impact of new technology on fundamental questions of what it means to be human. In movies like 1995's Ghost in the Shell — a cyberthriller that was a big inspiration for The Matrix — and its 2004 followup Ghost in the Shell: Innocence, the cyborg characters are just as likely to quote Nietzsche and Milton as they are to blast away legions of baddies.
Speaking through a translator in a phone interview last week from Montreal — where he's finishing work on The Last Druid: Garm Wars, a Japanese/Canadian co-production that's also his first film in English — Oshii explains that his often-futuristic films reflect the reality around him as the gap between humans and machines narrows.
"Everything is transitioning," he says. "The traditional way of thinking of what machines can do has become very different — I want to stress that we've started to use machines in very organic ways."
As an example of how technology is changing the game for us humans, Oshii cites the current controversies surrounding the development of a new stem-cell therapy in Japan.
"They're trying to develop this thing called the STAP stem cell," he says, "which is a universal egg that can adapt to all kinds of organic bodies and situations."
The ramifications in regards to human biology and genetics have become "a huge topic" there, even if a research study representing a major advance has been widely disputed.
In many aspects of society, Oshii sees changes that his movies imagined years before. The filmmaker says he doesn't feel so different from novelist William Gibson, who's taken to setting his novels in the present in order to explore what he calls "futurity," the sensation that the future that science-fiction writers had long imagined is already here. "I feel the same way," says Oshii. "That's what's happening in real life."
Oshii continues to speculate about the results of the intensifying synthesis of human and high-tech. He says that his goal with The Last Druid: Garm Wars — which, like many of his recent features, is not strictly anime but a mix of live-action and digital animation — was "to portray how humans are intertwined or fusing with technology."
Though the filmmaker is reluctant to divulge much about the new movie's contents before he knows whether it'll be in the lineup for the fall festivals (including TIFF), he does believe it represents a new frontier for his work. "It does not take place on the Earth," he says. "This is the first time I've done a real fantasy film."
As for the Lightbox retrospective, Oshii is especially pleased to be able to present Ghost in the Shell in a recently upgraded version. Dubbed Ghost in the Shell 2.0, the new edition was released in Japan in 2008 and featured various revisions that became possible in the 13 years since it first wowed viewers.
"Back when I made Ghost in the Shell, there were certain scenes I was not completely happy with," says Oshii. "By using the new digital technology, I was able to achieve what I wanted to do then."
Yet the most provocative of Oshii's alterations involved the Puppet Master, the shadowy hacker who serves as the nemesis of Ghost in the Shell's heroine. The change reflects Oshii's ongoing interest in fast-changing notions about gender identity, which he sees as another element of humanity's future (and present, for that matter).
"I changed the gender of the Puppet Master from male to female," he notes. "I really wanted to explore what would happen and how the story would play because the main character is female, too.
"It definitely became a different movie because of it."

I think his intent is just to see if there is enough interest to warrant a purchase out of his own pocket to get the ball rolling. If they sell,then who knows, we could end up with a variety of hats.

A part of Frederick history

We have been to many events there and the old, classic, but renovated theater is a great venue. There really are no bad seats.
Hidden Gem!
Feb 14, 2015 by: sk1952 from Kensington, Maryland
This is a terrific venue with very good acoustics and very reasonable ticket prices. Went with friends to see Spyro Gyra last evening and thoroughly enjoyed their 2 hour performance! Only complaint is the couple sitting behind us must have thought they were at a restaurant and not a concert because they wouldn't stop talking during the entire concert. The old time ambiance has been maintained and the modern sound system was excellent. Location is great and there are many terrific restaurants close by for dining before or after the show. Parking is plentiful and ther is a garage right around the corner. Even though we live almost an hour away, we look forward to visiting the Weinberg Center again.
Love it!
Feb 13, 2015 by: Sharoo32 from Frederick, MD
We went for a silent movie with organ accompaniment, and the entire theater full of people was spellbound. The presentation -- which included an introduction to the organist and a short movie about the incredible organ -- was perfection. We've been to many events here, and this place is just a magical gem.
Jan 26, 2015 by: PSkryjaWest from Baltimore, Maryland
We were there to see Red Green with friends and sat in the balcony. The seats were great and you did not feel you were that "far" from the show. We had a great time.
Family-Friendly Theatre Production
Dec 18, 2014 by: Lin R from
My second trip to this theatre for the holiday performance of The Nutcracker Ballet. Performed by local ballet students (starting around age 6) who are joined by professionals - this year from the New York Ballet. This is a sell-out event, with activities for children beforehand and small holiday crafts for sale in the lobby. The price is amazingly reasonable for this annual show, so it is very popular. Get there at least 20 minutes early as the crowd is thick. The theatre is very nicely renovated, though additional restrooms in the lobby areas would be helpful. If you think you are purchasing in the front row of the balcony, be aware that it really is just a step up from the mezzanine level, with no actual direct overlook to the stage. Still, the seats are raked well enough that impeded views are not much of a concern. Definitely worth a visit to this venue - they have interesting performances year-round.

Best way to paint wicker?
I need to paint my wicker furniture on my front porch. I've done it a couple times over the past 14 years. I've spray painted with cheap spray paint, and brushed on white paint. Does anyone have a preferred way to paint wicker? Does the name brand spray paint perform better than cheap Walmart brand? What gloss should I use? I am on the fence about painting it black instead of white, but Dh says pollen will show up more. Any suggestions?
If you want a really good paint job, I would purchase or rent a good sprayer. I've never had great success painting wicker, no matter how many layers applied, with a brush or regular spray paint in the cans.
If you're trying to change the color, just buy new wicker. I kept and repainted my mom's wicker set for sentimental reasons. It was a nightmare. Wicker has multiple layers, and you can see into it, so the white innards will almost always show up after you've painted the outside dark.
I didn't try a professional sprayer but I doubt that would help. The spray would not be able to provide full coverage of the interior anyway.
Good point. I'll probably just keep it white. Atleast it won't take as much paint to cover as it would to change the entire color. I'd love to buy all-weather wicker, but I don't won't to spend the money at this time. It seems like brushing paint on is better, since it's thicker, but the ease of spraying is so much better. I wonder if a better brand of spray paint will hold up better.
I have painted wicker for years...that should tell you something :( I have used the special most expensive Rustoleum paint for wicker. It works OK if the wicker is in good condition and you are going to use the same color and you are planning on redoing it at least every other year. It will flake off eventually. It takes a LOT of paint so it costs a lot. You must wear a very good vapor mask from Lowes to use spray paint ! please...I repeat this on here all the time and folks respond that they are doing it outside...sigh..that means nothing. if you can smell the paint you are getting it in your lungs and doing permanent damage. So if you are going to spray please spend the $30 and get the mask with the heavy duty filters.
I like high gloss as it seems to do the best. I have old antique wicker now and the pieces that someone use a brush and canned paint on are intact and they couldn't flake off it they wanted to so it is way better to put it on with a brush...but this was done too heavily and I thought I would be able to get it off with stripper and re-do it so I bought it ...luckily I didn't pay much. But stripper works..sort of...but it would take weeks of work and I don't have the time or energy that I want to spend on that. So use canned paint if you want it to last..Rustoleum is the best...and use a light hand with the brush and use high gloss. Also...wear a mask with brushed paint too !! Remember if you can smell it you are putting yourself at risk. c
Lake Girl-
I've had good luck spraypainting wicker using spray paint, cans are OK, but a sprayer has much better application, is cheaper and with less waste (no aerosol bottles to dispose of).
Here is the process I follow:
Wash all wicker with soap and a hose, really spray it with as much force as your hose will muster. Let dry really well, like for several days. Keep inside or cover to keep clean. I then use the air hose (we have an air compressor, I know everyone doesn't, if you don't, just use a miracle cloth) to spray the dust off.
Turn all furniture up side down, place on a dropcloth or cardboard in the middle of the lawn or driveway on a calm day and spray two coats on the underside. There will be overspray, so take care that you remove things in the path, like your car (ask me how I know).
After two coats on the underside and the required drying time of 1-2 hours between coats, turn the items right side up and apply two coats on the top side. Depending on the item you may need to turn and spray the sides in the same manner.
Once you have two full coats on all sides, review to see if the old color is peeking through (it probably will be) and start the process over again.
I have black spray painted wicker on my porch chairs and IIRC it took 5 coats to give it the rich, glossy black I wanted. The good news is the if you buy or rent a spray gun, it covers well with a minimal amount of paint, the coats are lighter than if you brushed them.
Good luck-
Thanks for the tips! I agree that brushing the paint would give the thicker coat, but spraying is quickest (with a mask - thanks trail). Sandyponder - what brand of spray paint did you use, or did you rent a sprayer? I have washed and scrubbed two chairs and the little table, but not the loveseat. I do have an air compressor with hose to blow it off with also.
Thanks again!
Ah..yes if I had a compressor sprayer that is definitely what I would use. Never thought to rent one and not sure DH would have let me :) Lots of thin layers is the way to go ...just no spray cans..they don't do well at all. Hope you will post pics !!
sandy..what did you do about the car ?:) c
Lake Girl-
I have a cheapie sprayer from Tractor Supply, $30+- on the sale table, and for my purposes it worked fine (all that texture on wicker is actually very forgiving!), I used BM Aura cuz that's the best paint available locally, and tho the paint counter woman said I might have to thin it, I didn't and it worked fine.
And, yes, the car, well, in my defense, it was my first time with the sprayer and there is a learning curve, luckily we don't drive nice cars, so it was fine, mr. sandyponder's old green van had a tinge of purple to the left rear area, I thought it gave the old POS a certain je ne sais quois, but others disagreed....
Our wonderful Handy Guy painted an antique desk with a sprayer. It was white, and we changed the color to a pale pink. It came out beautifully!
Well, you can't have mine! He just spent a week here getting the backyard ready for our mothers' day celebration....pressure washing everything from patio to furniture and cushions, reprinting deck and railings, hauling off collapsing adirondack chairs from the pond bank, cleaning the tops of the outdoor ceiling fans, repainting the black lanterns, umbrella stands, the backs of the deck stairs, bringing two truckloads of flowers and palms from our local nursery and DIY store, and on, and on and on... We could not live here without him, literally!
Don't forget you may have to remove some old paint to get the weave to show if it's very caked on. How? Tack hammer. Yes, if it is layers thick you can carefully tap it with a tack or other pointy hammer until the paint crumbles falls loose. I have "stripped" a number of pieces using this method but it's not for the faint of heart. If your wicker is paper fiber be very careful or you may have to order more and reweave, which I'm about to do. Apparently the many coats of paint will stabilize old fiber wicker, and I was surprised to find that the back of a rocker I had restored split open after all the work. The wire inside the craft paper fiber will eventually rust and weaken the weave, and the paint I tapped off was helping hold it all together. Don't be too quick to get rid of old paint if it's in pretty good shape. Use a good oil-based primer or stain-killing one on unfinished areas before repainting.
Well, I've done it and lived to tell about it, although my right index finger was numb for three weeks (seriously) after I sprayed one chair! After that, I always use ine of those spray attachments that make using a spray cans so much easier. Another suggestion is to first to use a spray primer in a color close to the color your painting the chair. And, make sure that you are painting in a place with good light and where you can turn the chair different ways, including upside down, so that you can look for places that you've missed. . . . which is inevitable!

What is the diagnosis and prognosis of my tomato plant.
Hello, I'm a first time grower, and like some, I started without reading anything and just planting away! Unfortunately it had its consequences. I live in zone 9B, Central Florida. I purchased some Early-Girl 50 Tomatoes at Lowes about a week ago (probably my first mistake). Now, on many of the leaves of the lower half, they have the spots seen in the following photos:
After doing a little research, I sense that it could be some type of spot bacteria/fungi. My questions are: What is the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis? Also, if there is another (only 1 fortunately) tomato plant right next to it, what are your recommendations?
Thanks for your help.
Not sure of the diagnosis, but you can just cut off the worst leaves and let it grow. Sometimes those are just sunburned spots. Tomatoes can still grow and produce fruit with some funky leaves. It's rare to have everything all perfect.
Here is a link that might be useful: What's Growing On?

Hi RemoteDoc,
I can't tell whether it's Early Blight or Septoria, but, in either case, I recommend you pick off (and throw away) all infected leaves. Then start a regular (once every 1-2 weeks) spraying program with Daconil (AKA Ortho Garden Disease Control, amongst other brands). This will not cure the disease, but will help keep it from spreading. Also, if your plants are not mulched, you should mulch them very soon. Both of these leaf diseases are very common. With care, your plants will survive and produce a good crop. Good luck!
Thanks for everyone's input. I have trimmed all leaves I thought were infected today. It looks greener and less infected, that's for sure, but it also looks more bare! :) I will keep an eye on it, and even getting some Daconil as mentioned. Thanks again for the help!
