Detroit Red Wings (33-8-4) at Ottawa Senators (28-10-4), 7 p.m.
(Sports Network) - A possible preview of the Stanley Cup finals is on tap this evening, as the Detroit Red Wings visit the Ottawa Senators at Scotiabank Place for a battle between the top two teams in the NHL this season.
The Red Wings lead the NHL with a whopping 70 points and Ottawa is second in the league and first in the Eastern Conference with 60 points. The Senators made it to the Stanley Cup finals last year before losing to Anaheim, while Detroit was ousted by the Ducks in the Western Conference finals.
Detroit was handed a rare loss Thursday night in a crazy game against visiting Minnesota. Eric Belanger's goal with 49 seconds remaining in regulation tied the contest and Marian Gaborik was credited with the game-winner in the shootout, as the Wild outlasted the Red Wings, 6-5, at Joe Louis Arena.
Dan Cleary gave the Red Wings the lead with just over a minute to play in the third period, but Detroit failed to hold on for the win. Still, the Red Wings earned at least a point for the 21st time in their last 23 games overall (18-2-3).
Chris Osgood, who inked a three-year contract extension on Wednesday, finished with 23 saves. Henrik Zetterberg, Valtteri Filppula, Dallas Drake and Niklas Kronvall also scored for Detroit, which had won four straight games prior to the loss.
Dominik Hasek is expected to be in goal for the Red Wings tonight and has stellar career numbers against the Senators, who employed Hasek during the 2005-06 season. Hasek is 24-8-5 with a 1.45 goals against average and .951 save percentage in 38 career games against Ottawa.
The Senators, meanwhile, posted a shootout win their last time out, as they defeated the Buffalo Sabres, 3-2, behind Dean McAmmond's tally in the sixth round of the deciding segment at Scotiabank Place.
In the final round, McAmmond fired a snap shot over Jocelyn Thibault's left shoulder. Martin Gerber then stopped Jochen Hecht to preserve the win for the Senators.
Shean Donovan and Daniel Alfredsson scored in regulation for Ottawa, which has won three in a row overall. Gerber made 22 saves in the win, the Senators' ninth out of the last 12 over the Sabres.
Tonight marks the third portion of a four-game homestand for the Senators, who are 14-6-2 as the host club this season. They will wrap up the residency Sunday against the New York Islanders.
The Red Wings are 15-5-2 as the visiting team this season.
Tonight marks the only regular-season meeting between the Red Wings and Senators this year. Detroit has taken six of the last eight matchups and has won three of four in Ottawa.

I've been taking our camera to more places with me recently. For every 50 shots there are five that turn out Ok. This was a good one. I know so because I posted it on the Gram and an honest to god photographer told me it was a "great photo!" So there's that. The waves at OB were horrible, as they have been since its spring. The beach is still a fun place to pass time with a Tecate, camera, wife and dog.

Just as you start settling into the five-day work week, it's only a matter of time before you instinctively check the local surf cam. Today, I lasted a whole hour before visiting ob-kc for my fix, hoping it might be a sloppy mess not worth waking up for, but instead I saw an empty right hander peeling without a soul in the water. It apparently wasn't as good as this still shot made it look, but all it takes is one good wave to make a session and this would've done it.

Posing For Tourists At Ocean BeachPublished November 3, 2012 ocean , san francisco , Surf 1 Comment
Tags: ocean beach, surfing, tourist photos
I was surfing at Ocean Beach today, and it was good. I surfed for just over an hour and came in when I figured the drift pulled me up the beach enough. Ciji drove down with me and was enjoying the sunny day on a blanket down the beach where I first paddled out, so I had a little walk ahead of me to make it back to her.
Today was one of those days at Ocean Beach where you didn't feel like you were at Ocean Beach. The sun was out. There wasn't any wind, and the waves were cracking.
Sun is a huge variable when surfing Ocean Beach. Paddle outs seem less of a challenge when the sky's blue. Bigger waves seem more makable. It was one of those days.
After a fun surf I had a big smile on my face as I made my way down the beach towards Ciji. I walked passed a group of ten or so middle-aged Asian women who were taking photos of the ocean like they've never seen it before. They all seemed just about as happy as I was.
As I got closer to the group of women, they turned their cameras on me. Dripping wet and holding a surfboard I probably looked pretty "California" to them.
One of the ladies ran directly in front of me and snapped a photo. She was maybe two feet away from me. I stopped. The smile on my face never went away, and I decided to acknowledge the impromptu but welcomed photo shoot by throwing up a peace sign with my hand.
It was as if the peace sign was an invitation for a full fledged photo shoot. Everyone of the women shrieked with joy when I stopped and made the peace sign.
Immediately I was surrounded by the entire group as one person took turns playing photographer while the other women gathered behind me. I stood with my surfboard holding a peace sign in the air for several clicks of the camera.
I asked the women where they were visiting from and was told China as they looked down at the screen of their cameras, reviewing the photos they just took with me.
I thanked them for bringing the nice weather to San Francisco during their trip, waved goodbye and made my way on down the beach.
Not a bad way to cap off a nice day in the ocean. I only wish I had one of the photos.
PVC Surfboard Rack For A BicyclePublished April 18, 2012 bike , san francisco , Surf 5 Comments
Tags: ocean beach, pvc surfboard rack, surf bike rack, surfboard bicycle rack, surfboard rack, urban surfing
Surfing in San Francisco is tough. The water is cold, the currents are strong, and I've been told there are sharks. If you don't own a car, or have a buddy who owns one, the actual act of surfing in San Francisco is tough. It's more than three miles from my apartment to Ocean Beach. I don't own a car. I own a bike.
Since I moved to San Francisco I've had a love hate relationship with surfboard racks for bicycles. On the one hand they got me to the beach for a surf, but on the other hand they all had design flaws. If one rack didn't require you to bolt it on your bicycle forever, the other would force you to turn you bicycle into a horse trailer. My favorite of them all is the rack that turns your bicycle into an SUV!
If your only mode of transportation is a bicycle, and you want to surf, it turns out your best option is to build a rack out of PVC pipe, glue, hose clamps, and pipe insulation. This entire surfboard rack can be built for under $20 (considering you already own a hacksaw and screwdriver) and with a slight design change you won't have to permanently fix the rack to your bicycle. Here's how I did it:
Slice up some 1″ tee sections of PVC (larger if your frame size calls for it) with a hacksaw and affix them to your bicycle frame with hose clamps. For extra grip between the tee sections and my bicycle frame I lined the inside of the tee sections with strips of old tire tubes.
Here's what your bicycle is going to look like on a daily basis with this type of surfboard rack. The PVC tee sections are the only visible part on the bicycle at all times, and they're super lightweight so you'll barely notice they're attached.
With about nine feet of PVC pipe, six elbow sections, and some PVC cement, you'll be able to construct the arms of the rack that actually hold the surfboard.
Each bicycle frame and rider is different, so the sizes for these sections of the rack will vary. For instance, the rear arm of my rack is longer due to the back tee section being slightly higher on the frame than the front tee section. It's not an exact science, but you'll want the bottoms of each arm to be fairly even.
To prevent the arms from disconnecting with the tee sections, holes were drilled through the top part of each arm and threaded with rope so they could be tied to the frame. Tying the arms to the tee section – opposed to cementing them together – allows me the option to easily remove and fasten the rack onto my frame without having to permanently attach it to my bicycle. As you can see, I've also added pipe insulation around the arm sections to protect my surfboard.
Due to the 45 degree angle of the front tee section attached to my bicycle frame, I drilled a hole towards the top of the front arm of the rack, which allows me to hook a bungie cord.
The bungie cord counter balances the weight of the surfboard pulling down on the arm, preventing the front tee section from rotating. With the bungie cord secured around my top tube the front arm of the rack remains level and the tee section doesn't move.
That's it! Now you just throw your wetsuit in a bag and pedal to some waves.
Ocean Beach, Still Really WeirdPublished February 11, 2012 ocean , san francisco , Surf Leave a Comment

If your local surf spot is within San Francisco city limits you're gonna experience some weird things from time to time. Ocean Beach surfers can now add "car in the ocean" to the list.
According to Ocean Beach Bulletin:
A woman drove her Lexus sedan down Stairwell 25 near Golden Gate Park, across the sand and into the surf at Ocean Beach Friday morning.

Waxing Your Biscuit in San FranciscoPublished November 8, 2011 Art , san francisco , Surf 6 Comments

Turns out surfboards made of wood, under 6-feet tall, are actually pretty ideal for riding the waves at Ocean Beach. Chris brought his newly built wooden "Biscuit" out with him to San Francisco recently, and waxed it up for it's first party in the Pacific.
And here's what surfing in sunny California is like. Looks like a scene from The Goonies, but the wind eventually did back off and we ended up getting some nice waves on the wood board's first time in the water.

Try cooking and draining the spinach prior to adding it to the recipe so that you can remove the water that is released when the spinach cooks. Otherwise the lasagna will turn out watery.
It would be good to mention that the spinach should be uncooked, and torn into smaller pieces. Enjoy!
This lasagna was AMAZING! Ok, so I did change things. I think "tomato sauce" really means "spaghetti sauce" in this recipe, so that's what I used. My guess is that the people who thought it...

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Timothy also enjoyed music, an interest which was both a passion and occupation of his parents. Besides his wife Mary D. Sheehan of Fort McCoy, Florida, he is survived by three of his children, daughters, Kathleen Goracy and her husband Leonard of Tariffville, Mary Sheehan of Manchester, and Maureen Briggeman and her husband of Manchester. He was predeceased by both his son Timothy "Chris" Christopher Sheehan III in February 2008 and also his first wife Doris (Smith) Sheehan in May 1997.

Reader Mail
Peter Brimelow on the Sierra War
A reply to RiShawn Biddle. Plus: Holy Hollywood, 60 Minutes' finest hour, Kerry thumping, Scottish deficit reduction, Anti-terrorism, and more.
Re: RiShawn Biddle's Malthus's Quarreling Children:
I read with nostalgia my fellow Forbes magazine alumnus RiShawn Biddle's attack on both sides in the Sierra Club civil war -- the Old Guard, who want to keep the club as a handmaiden of the Democratic party, and the Insurgents, who think it should actually do something about the environment, specifically that it should work to cut immigration, which is now the dominant factor in U.S. population growth.
The immigration reform website I edit, www.VDARE.com, figures in this war because we have posted several articles on the Insurgents. The Old Guard is accordingly smearing them with our general lack of political correctness.
My nostalgia was triggered by RiShawn's attempt to cram this argument into the old, 1980s-style markets-solve-everything Forbes template.
Doesn't work, RiShawn. The point is not just that ecological catastrophe could possibly result if immigration drives the U.S. population up to 500 million by 2050. (That's the Census Bureau's High Series projection, the 394 million you comfortingly cite is merely its Middle Series projection.)
Of course, population growth can cause ecological catastrophe, as it did in Haiti. But the broader point is that this population growth will certainly result in a loss of amenity. There will be more sprawl, fewer trees. California will cease to be the Golden State and become the Golden Suburb.
It's a value judgment, RiShawn. You can't get around it by saying the market will make it workable. Environmentalists don't want it whether it's workable or not. In fact, a better word for them would be conservationists -- a word that was once Republican territory, under Teddy Roosevelt.
Like RiShawn, I used to assume that environmentalists were just refugee socialists, looking for another excuse to push people around. And I still think that's true of the Sierra Club's Old Guard. But I was fascinated to discover, while traveling to promote my 1995 book Alien Nation: Common Sense About America's Immigration Disaster, that there really are genuine environmentalists (conservationists) out there. They just plain prefer trees, open space, to sprawl. Many of them are just not political people at all -- which I think is true of many Sierra Insurgents.
An epochal issue like the need to do something about America's immigration disaster comes along every two or three generations. It cuts across all traditional political lines. It creates new alliances. Environmentalists (conservationists) are just one component of the immigration reform coalition. I'm glad they're there.
-- Peter Brimelow
Re: Elihu Yale's The God Squad:
The author of "God Squad" is on target.
Mr. Yale's article is one of the most insightful works I have read. He also seems to have clear insight of how things really work in Hollywood.
-- Steve Gage
Dallas, Texas
Congratulations to Mr. Yale and the Spectator!
Often I do not completely agree with the Spectator, but this is one case where you're right on the money. There is a higher power in Hollywood, and it's not a head of production at a studio.
-- Louise Steinberg
Los Angeles, California
Re: Christopher Orlet's Kerry's Good Works:
One common denominator for mankind, even Unitarians, has been fear. Worshippers of many stripes have feared the wrath to come. Priests know this very well, that's why I seldom missed my Easter duty as a head full of mush! Concerning hell and Unitarians, Mr. Mencken recalled once that a wit said of Unitarianism that "it was movement typical of the modern effort to get rid of hell, it is not a kind of Christianity at all, but a mattress for skeptical ex-Christians to fall on." And as a bonus, Mencken characterized Luther as a "theologian par excellence -- cocksure, dictatorial, grasping, self-indulgent, vulgar and ignorant."
-- Edward Del Colle
John Kerry's use of a Bible quotation to attack the Bush administration brings to mind the line found in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice: "The devil can cite scripture for his purpose."

Re: Brian S. Wesbury's Deficits Don't Matter:
Eat all the food in your cupboard. Empty your bank account to buy stuff you don't need and will never use. Max out your credit card buying more stuff you don't need, then take it to the market to buy groceries.
The checkout lady will tell you very quickly that deficits do matter.
-- Martin Kelly
Glasgow, Scotland
Brian Wesbury slid a curious remark into his deficits-not-a-problem piece on Tuesday: "Running a deficit to fight a war against terrorism is an investment in protecting the freedom that creates growth."
Maybe that would be true, but that's not our deficit.
We are running a deficit to fund the welfare state. What welfare reform? Yes, the cards were shuffled and now we're being dealt a bad hand from a double deck. Home renovation subsidies. Child care subsidies. Local police subsidies to run seat belt harassment patrols. And on and on it goes. This is not what I voted for in 2000. And has it really bought the Republicans any votes, any goodwill, any friendly media coverage? Ha!
Bush may cruise to a big win this year but I dread 2008. And a Democrat administration in 2009 will be positioned to reap the benefits of Bush's backloaded tax cut and spend every penny of the supply-side windfall on yet more federal programs. If they run a bigger deficit, articles like Wesbury's will just provide them with cover.
-- David Slauenwhite
Re: Ken Shreve's letter in Reader Mail's King and Her Court:
Ken Shreve must surely know that Florence King insists on being addressed as "Miss King," not "Ms. King." "Miss," she explains, is an honorific; it means "spinster," and she was proud of being such. She agrees with Archie Bunker, she says, about "Ms." "It sounds like a bug."
-- Lawrence Henry
Re: Jed Babbin's Mr. Clarke and Mullah Brezhnev:
The usually 100 percent thorough Jed Babbin appears to have omitted from his otherwise excellent column what is perhaps Richard Clarke's most significant (arguably the pinnacle) accomplishment as Clinton's anti-terrorism Ubersturmbannfuhrer, the feckless bombing of the aspirin factory in the Sudan. No WMDs there, no precursor chemicals, just ASA tablets blowing around in the overpressure. The only thing we achieved there, if I remember correctly, was a claim for damages.
Oh, well, c'est la vie, as M. Chirac would say. Hell hath no fury like a bureaucrat scorned, to borrow from Congreve.
-- Frank Stevenson
Williamsburg, Virginia
Bravo. Let's debate which strategy is more effective in the war on terror. The Bush strategy of attacking Iraq, or the Clarke strategy of pretending that Abu Abbas and the rest of the original gangsters were simply enjoying retirement, sipping juice by the pool at the Baghdad Hilton reminiscing on the glory days of terrorism, while complaining that the current group of Islamic Jihadists would be a lot less angry if they would only try to understand Americans.
-- Dennis Genetski
It appears to be Mr. Babbin's hope, as it is that of the current administration, that republican virtue and Islam can exist in the same realm. I humbly suggest that it may take much more than hope, and that we may need to heed the hyperbole of Ann Coulter: invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert the survivors to Christianity.
After all, nothing reconquers like reconquista.
-- Stephen Foulard
Houston, Texas
Re: Paul Beston's A 60 Minutes Miracle:
Thank you, Mr. Beston, for writing your piece on the vile character assassination of Judge Pickering. The man has taken enough slings and arrows for a lifetime from the likes of Charles Schumer. America knows what the DNC has done to block good people from the bench. Too bad there are some here that still have trouble with the Constitution.
-- unsigned
Paul Beston was not kidding here. The biased reporting on 60 Minutes is so famous I sat down and watched the Rice interview with some worry that they would try to destroy her credibility. In fact, this concern was given greater impetuous by the lack of promotion. The lead up to the Clarke interview was broadcast every five minutes during the NCAA Tournament games, but despite watching many of these games, I never caught a single mention of Rice and her rebuttal. The ads were all about the new 14-year-old soccer phemon! (It was a fun story.) Nevertheless, she did very well. Explained her facts calmly and with clarity. Very impressive. She did so well I stayed for the next segment and was in for the biggest sock of the night!
Charles Pickering indeed was treated with a balanced report, straight up and down the line. When CBS allowed the two African Americans to argue over his "racist" tendencies (making the NAACP operative look like an uninformed political hack), you knew this was a different report from 60 Minutes.
Thanks for bringing it to light.
-- George Hersh
Shawnee, Kansas
Re: Eric Peters' Progressive Ticketing:
There isn't too much that is either entertaining or edifying in the New Yorker magazine these days, but they had his one cartoon showing a limousine speeding down a highway past a patrol car hiding behind a billboard, emblazoned with the emblem "IRS."
A cartoon depiction of an old-style speed trap is funny enough (Do the police still hide behind billboards? I thought they used unmarked cars), and the joke that rich people fear being tripped up by the IRS the way little guys fear that just 5 MPH over the limit is going to land a ticket in a small town makes it funnier yet. But should we adopt progressive traffic fines from Finland, maybe that cartoon is right on the mark.
-- Paul Milenkovic
Madison, Wisconsin
Re: Michael Faulkenberg's letter ("Great While It Lasted") in Reader Mail's King and Her Court:
If the Left doesn't have anyone of RET's caliber to go after whoever Mr. Faulkenberg means by "Boy Emperor," then the book Mr. Faulkenberg wants neither needs nor deserves to be written.

Wow, this is great. Anybody have details on the whole fit?
I feel because I'm short and slim, it'd be tough for me to pull off the very relaxed/baggy fit of Yohji. However, the picture above strikes the perfect balance of where I want my style to head (not incredibly relaxed, but slim-relaxed.. this is harder to say in words).
People say they want to transition into wearing Yohji when they're 50+. I'm 20 and heavily considering starting that transition now, pending details of that fit above.

I think the more recent yohji homme collections are slimmer compared to those of the early 2000's and before. Any of those would probably serve you well, especially in a size 1 or 2. Y's also works well for a less baggy fit, has the added benefit of a cheaper price tag and generally doesn't compromise any of the quality.
While yohji's quality is really second to none in my opinion it sort of begs the question: why would you look to yohji for a slimmer aesthetic in the first place?
stadsvandringar is right. YYPH had gone for a slimmer silhouette since, say AW08. However the cuts of the blazers within the same season do vary. Based on my limited experience of that season, size 2 for Look 21 DR YY was cut quite generously, whereas Look 4 Deconstructed Lapel blazer and Look 31 Don't Do That were more true to size. Look 15 Leather Insert Blazer however was TINY in sz 2.....

I really like this quote from Charlotte Ramping: "When I discovered Yohji, something strange happened. It was rather like joining a sect. I didn't see many people dressed like this and I felt unique. Yohji's clothes are not slaves to fashion, you can wear them anywhere, anytime and yet they always feel avant-garde."
Well, it does depend on the item itself, but generally speaking, any typically large Yohji cut shirt or blazer would work for someone your size in a size 3. You just may not get the really loose/baggy fit that quite a few of his clothes are cut for. Again, it depends on the item. If you want, you could probably ask the seller of the item for measurements or post them on here and get some feedback from all the knowledgeable folk on here on whether or not any of the items would work .
went in to Hotoveli in NYC the other day and checked out their Yohji stock. very nice stuff. the SA asked if I was looking for something in particular, and I said I was just browsing because it was really out of my price range. she said if I wanted to try some things on just to have a look it was totally fine and there was no pressure. i really appreciate service like that. i think it's a great way of turning someone into a customer who might not have been otherwise. i was busy, but i think i'll go back soon and try on a few pieces at some point. i don't know that I'll ever be able to get on board with the extreme side of Yohji's silhouette, but if I can find something a little toned down I would love to try it (eventually).

One thing I will say is "never say never". Just try on a few things and see how they go together. Yohji is definitely best experienced in person so you are in a great position to see what the brand is all about. Who knows? You might end up joining the "sect" .
I also find that a lot of stores that stock Yohji have really great S.As. Anyway, let us know what they have in stock I know quite a few people on here who are on the lookout for some pieces from SS12.
Also, welcome to the forum and thread davidlee, looking forward to having you around.

Caveat, haven't tried it on but it's cut quite slim iirc so go tts.

With service like that, just go back and try on all the pieces you like (or just think are cool) in different styling combinations, no matter if you think you can pull it off or not. It's best way to experience it, and it just works much better on the body than on the hanger. You'll notice what I mean once you try stuff on.
